/* Same Origin Policy limits javascript running in VisualForce pages from making requests to
APIs, even salesforce apis, because they are hosted on salesforce.com while visualforce
pages are served from force.com. To work around this, configure an ajax proxy in your organization.
Ajax proxies are configured in setup under Security Controls | Remote Site Settings. Put in a URL
into the proxy like https://na1.salesforce.com (or whatever the domain of the api is)
Once configured, just plain javascript can use the proxy url, which is available at /services/proxy
The Salesforce Ajax Toolkit is not required, and generally you don't want to use that anyway, since
its not supported on Safari or Chrome.
Here's a basic example of how to make a request to the Chatter REST API from a Visualforce page.
This also works for portal(community) users and portal pages.
