Yes, because you are doing GETs. The cross-site restriction comes in 
when the call is implemented through XHR. You have set
OpenLayers.ProxyHost =....
in your code?

Use the NET panel in firebug to see what is being sent and what the 
response is. Actually, I think FF blocks the cross-site XHR silently but 
I can see the error with Chrome developer tools.
