Somewhere I was here that "Atals" will support only IIS webservices. Seems that this is because XMLHTTPRequest does not allows POST requests to remote webservices. But what is a problem to make proxy somethig like client - our server - web service?
You can absolutely do that and we actually know of a few applications that do it. If you absolutely need, that's a perfectly valid workaround. There are tow problems, though:
* You circumvent a legitimate security feature of IE by proxying the web service server-side, so you should be 100% sure that you're not introducing a security flaw in your application or circumventing the web service's licencing model.
* Performance is going to suffer server-side as your server is basically just going to transfer requests for another server.
