| /* Same Origin Policy limits javascript running in VisualForce pages from making requests to | |
| APIs, even salesforce apis, because they are hosted on salesforce.com while visualforce | |
| pages are served from force.com. To work around this, configure an ajax proxy in your organization. | |
| Ajax proxies are configured in setup under Security Controls | Remote Site Settings. Put in a URL | |
| into the proxy like https://na1.salesforce.com (or whatever the domain of the api is) | |
| Once configured, just plain javascript can use the proxy url, which is available at /services/proxy | |
| The Salesforce Ajax Toolkit is not required, and generally you don't want to use that anyway, since | |
| its not supported on Safari or Chrome. | |
| Here's a basic example of how to make a request to the Chatter REST API from a Visualforce page. | |
| This also works for portal(community) users and portal pages. | |
