跨站点json rpc：使用Javascript客户端的Python服务器端和Mozilla扩展

Question

I am building a Mozilla extension that contacts a Python application on a remote server to send and receive data. The Python application can be called using xml-rpc from a Python console. I am attempting to design a JSON-RPC that would contact the same application. Developing the Python server side, which can be accessed using python console, has been easy. However, I am having difficulties making the Mozilla extension to connect to the Python server side.

How do I make cross site JSON rpc calls? I have googled and read about many libraries, but none of them seem to work. I am not sure if it is because of some origin policy or because my server side is not able to process the data. Any help would be appreciated.

You can use http://mimic-xmlrpc.sourceforge.net/ js library, or just XMLHttpRequest. I'm just with the same problem, and i'm an absolute newby with js :(

mimic seems grat, even if i'm having problems parsing the data returned..
