Firefox 3: Enable AJAX to localhost from outside domain

I am running a HTTP server on my development machine. I have a website, on some web server on the Internet. How can I get Firefox to allow communication from this website to localhost temporarily while I develop?
Thanks,
Isaac Waller

If you really need to do it you can set up your web server so it temporarily serves the content with an access-control header. But for your situation it would be best to use a proxy. See this:

The approach I use in this situation is to insert a hosts-file entry mapping localhost to a subdomain of the target internet site.

You could use a local proxy (such as fiddler) to route the AJAX requests to the service on your LocalHost.
