For developing purposes, is there a flag for Google Chrome that will allow for cross-site HTTP requests?

Under OSX start Canary/Chrome app with the flag --disable-web-security.

Be careful with this option though.

/Applications/Google\ Chrome\ Canary.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome\ Canary --disable-web-security

I don't know of A way to allow cross site requests, but if you are trying to pull in data from on particular site (ie. the live version of the site you are developing for) you can edit you /etc/hosts file to have test.whateveryourdomainis.com point to localhost, this way you can also have domain specific links in your code that more closely match what they will be on the live site.

By doing this your local files will appear to be hosted remotely, and any cross domain issues will be ignored
