Answer 1

Using .ajax instead of .load

$.ajax({
  url: "http://www.mysite.com/names.html",
  cache: false,
  success: function(html){
    //Do some thing with html
  }
});

Answer 2

If the page you require access to resides on an external server then you will have to proxy it via your local server using curl. Demo and Documentation here. You then make your AJAX call to your curl page.

Answer 3

Well, what about using cURL on PHP side and returning it to the page via Ajax?
