//
// jsonp is a handy technique for getting around the limitations of the same-origin policy.
// (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Same_origin_policy)
//
// normally, to dynamically update a page you use an XmlHttpRequest. this has flakey support
// is some browsers and is restricted by the same origin policy. you cannot perform XHR requests to
// someone else's server. one way around this would be to proxy requests to all the servers you want
// to xhr to, and your core server - so that everything has the same port and host.
//
// another way, is to turn json into javascript. (which is exempt from the same origin policy)
// this is done by wrapping the json object in a function call, and then including a script tag.
//
// here we're proxing our own JSON returning server, but we could proxy any server on the internet,
// and our client side app would be slurping down JSONP from anywhere.
//
// curl localhost:1337/whatever?callback=alert
// alert([]) //which is valid javascript!
//
// also see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSONP#JSONP
//
