Cross-domain requests are being blocked by IE 8-9, Firefox on Windows, and Safari on Windows. This means that https://search.test.dataone.org cannot query Solr on cn.dataone.org with the current way requests are being sent. This hasn't been an issue before because most of our development is done on Macs and have been pointing to a Solr index on the same domain.

Looks like Solr has a JSONP feature: http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolJSON

I will need to send a "json.wrf" parameter with all Solr queries so that the JSON response is returned wrapped in a function, and therefore (annoyingly) accepted by IE, Firefox, and Safari in Windows.

Seems like the simpler/better solution would be to bring the UI deployment into the same domain as the SOLR index it is querying. It's probably confusing to have a test domain utilize production data, anyway. So this prohibition may have a silver lining and actually keep us out of trouble.

It wasn't even working from say, search.test.dataone.org to cn-sandbox-2.test.dataone.org

Okay, so that's a same-origin issue not so much a cross-domain issue. Similar, but different, right?

For 1.7.0, CORS is now working for JSON responses in IE 8+, and recent versions of Firefox. XML responses are still blocked by IE and I couldn't find a client-side solution to this, so at least for now MetacatUI will store a back-up XML file of the node info to use for building the Member Node filter list in the DataONE theme. Other cross-origin XML resources (e.g. getSubjectInfo()) will need to be fixed on the server side, by either using a proxy server or enabling JSONP responses.
