Have you considered communicating server-to-server with ASP.net web

I'm sorry, but that seems non-responsive.

We have javascript on a browser that needs to access data on a
webserver other than the one that served the page that contains the
javascript. I don't see how any server-to-server solution could be
relevant.

The browser gets a page from:

http://server/webapp/page.aspx

The javascript on that page gets images from:

http://server:8080/imageapp.php?x=1&y=2

The problem is that some browsers consider http://server and http://server:8080
to be distinct domains - and over time more and more browsers will do
so.

What we need is a URL like:

http://server/proxy.aspx&uri=http://server:8080/imageapp.php?x=1&y=2

So the request goes to the same domain as the original page, but where
the proxy page we're requesting pulls the page from the URI that is
passed to it as an argument.

There are packages to create proxies like this on Apache readily
available on the net. But we need one that will run on IIS.
Preferably one written in C#/ASP.NET, so we can build it and maintain
it with our current toolset.

This seems like a very simple problem, and I know people have had to
address it - but I've not been able to find any examples.
