What can be done to access remote domain most easily to read data with XML HTTP REQUEST?

A:
Due to security restrictions (see the "Same Domain Policy") it's not possible to make cross-domain requests. Depending on what you need I'd suggest either a custom proxy, an already-existing proxy (e.g. YQL), or JSONP.

The good news is that this is now being addressed by the W3C and we can expect recommendations to make their way into browsers fairly quickly; in fact, Firefox 3.5 and Safari 4 already implement the new CORS mechanism:http://www.w3.org/TR/access-control/

If you need to use an XHTMLHttpRequest, make sure the resource being requested sends back an appropriate Access-Control header. Currently, this will only work in Firefox 3.5 and higher.
