flXHR. I was looking for something like this recently, glad to see it exists. flXHR is a drop-in replacement for regular XMLHttpRequest which uses an invisible Flash shim to allow cross-domain calls to be made, taking advantage of the Flash crossdomain.xml security model.

  3. I really hope this kind of band-aid doesn't reach mainstream use. It'll be disappointing to see websites suddenly stop working with the Android and iPhone web browsers.
