[OpenLayers-Users] Problems embedding OpenLayers in a Blog

[jamesmikedupont at googlemail.com]

Thanks for your advice. That is interesting.
I never did anything like this, and I feed pretty stupid right now!

But it will be possible to host the webpages on archive.org as well
and work without the blog itself. It just would be nice to separate
the display and the data storage. That effectively reduces the usage
of openlayers to people who have control of domains, right? It will
not be possible to people to just create maps with any data they want
without a server to proxy the data.

Now, this example, it displays an openstreetmap map
http://osmopenlayers.blogspot.com/2009/12/test-of-osm-server.html

but the fetch to :
http://www.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/way/24315294/full
that fails, or never returns.

But the same one to use open layer to load the data from osm fails :
http://osmopenlayers.blogspot.com/2009/12/get-osm-data-directly.html

It calles get on this url http://www.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/way/24315294
in the request	XMLHttpRequest.js (line 200)

the other thing is that I dont get any error message about security problems

I found this document here:
http://docs.openlayers.org/library/request.html

So, realistically it is not possible to host open layers on a blog?
