concept of Facebook's xd_receiver file
I thought about building a simple API to let users grab some of our data.
Sooner or later you'll run into the cross-domain issue if you want to provide json or xml data. I don't want my users to put some curly proxy.php file on their own machines to solve that problem - so I was wondering - how is Facebook handling this issue?
What's the magic behind the xd_receiver.htm file (see content below)?

Are there other solution to the x-domain problem? Without switching to JSONP?
thx
This file is simply used by the transport layer when using FIM based transport, but I don't think they rely on this anymore.
Either way, if you want to learn more about Cross Domain Messaging, then read this article at ScriptJunkie, then take a look at the easyXDM library, which does everything for you - it even provides RPC.
