WebService component doesn't work on IE9 & Windows Phone7 for cross site ajax calls about enyo HOT 6 CLOSED

I think IE requires a different API for cross origin requests. There's an XDomainRequest object that you need to use rather than xmlhtttprequest. WebService could probably wrap this appropriately.

Yes, you are right, WebService component uses xhr for ajax calls but IE9 doesn't support xhr for cross site calls, so eventually I feel WebService component is not a good choice. So my question is do I have to replace WebService with the new Ajax component for all my project to make it run on Windows Phone 7. Is this the right move ?

Short term, yes - use Ajax, and you should be good to go on all platforms. I don't recall if WebService is on the short list for getting implemented soon.

@mbessey Thanks for the clarification, I'm going to close this issue.

Just a note -- you can often use the JSONP option for cross-domain access. It's supported with the enyo.JsonpRequest object or the jsonp flag to the new enyo.WebService.
