[OpenLayers-Users] Accessing user defined data from a OpenLayers application

[Nipuni Perera]

Hi,

I am trying to read a KML file from a URL, instead of a local file. Below
is my code for initializing the vector layer. But it does not work.
(Reading from the local file worked fine)

vector_layer = new OpenLayers.Layer.Vector("KML", {
                strategies: [new OpenLayers.Strategy.Fixed()],
                protocol: new OpenLayers.Protocol.HTTP({
                    url: "http://api.flickr.com/services/feeds/geo/",
                    params:{'format':'kml','tags':'bird'},
                    format: new OpenLayers.Format.KML({
                        extractStyles: true,
                        extractAttributes: true,
                        maxDepth: 2
                    })
                })
            });

Thanks,
Nipuni
