Hi
I have a little problem with Silverlight (C#)... I want to get the source code (html code) from a site e.g google.com when the user clicks a button..
I can't seem to be able to use the WebClient or HttpWebRequest class due to Silverlight security rules that don't allow cross domain calls (for protection agains XSS and XSRF )
is there a way to get around that, since I have to download the source but the site doesn't have a cross domain request policy to allow it...
hope you understand what I mean..
thx in advance!
 
IIRC the target site (e.g. google) needs to allow this cross domain access (this is the same if you are using a flash based app).


What are you trying to get from google and could you not use their public API instead?

Click to expand...

sorry if I didn't made my self clear, google.com was just an example, not the actual site I am trying to get the source from...
The site I try to download the source from doesn't have a policy document to allow cross domain calls (to allow cross domain calls there must be a clientaccesspolicy.xml or crossdomain.xml file (policy document) in the root of the sites domain...)
so my question is, is there a way to get around that so I can be able to dl the source from any site?
