javascript - EasyXDM: download files from 3rd party service

Question

I want to make JavaScript cross domain request to 3rd party server. I've read about easyXDM but still can't finally figure out how does it work. I tried their example in Chrome but it doesn't work for me (Entity to Large for music and Not Allowed for text files).

Question: Is easyXDM appropriate for my needs? I still don't understand whether it's possible to download smth from 3rd party service/domain

Answer 1

Unless the third-party server you are communicating specifically supports EasyXDM, it is not appropriate. EasyXDM requires that both sides be using it; it cannot be used to communicate with a service that isn't using it.
