Cross-domain scripts using jQuery.support.cors = true

I worked on various examples demonstrating cross-domain scripts, and came across a situation where I wanted to use jQuery.support.cors = true along with an Ajax call to retrieve data from a web service. I have an example of working webservice using jsonp , which I thought would just add jQuery.support.cors = true, change the dataType type to "json" and delete & $ callback =? from url. I see an answer coming back from webservice (Netflix) with the expected data, but when the ajax call returns, it serves as an error, not a success.

Initially, I thought that perhaps the web service does not have the appropriate headers, but I would be inclined to think that the received formatted response would correspond to the existing header. Maybe I am not formatting the success / error function correctly and the Ajax result is not like.

Here is a script where it tries to use jQuery.support.cors to no avail.

There is no header associated with CORS. Netflix does not allow CORS requests.

Of course, in this example, Netflix blocks everything that happens outside their own servers.
