Hi all!
what's the best way to get around the same original policy to fetch data from the toolserver with a XMLHTTPRequest in a Wikipedia gadget? Is there a best practice, a nice and easy, generally usable method? what would it take to make one?
I know that some gadgets have been doing this, but I also know that it's a bit tricky. I think a general solution to this, documented somewhere, would make life a lot easier... does something like this exist? if not, why not?

PS: while i'm at it, is there a wrapper function for XMLHTTPRequest in the standard MEdiaWiki JS? I don't want to re-invent a sucky wheel :)
