jQuery ajax call and a 404 error

Im trying to make a jquery ajax call but im getting a 404 error.

This is my code

jQuery.ajax({
    type: "POST",
    url: "/wp-content/themes/mytheme/ajax_functions.php",
    data: "sec=load_team&year=2010",
    success: function(msg){
        jQuery("#update_div").html(msg);
    },
    error: function(msg){
        console.log(msg.statusText);
    }
});

The website is not visible for everyone, Ive changed my hosts file:

xx.xx.xx.xx www.mydomain.com

Chrome inspector says:

POST http://www.mydomain.com/wp-content/themes/mytheme/ajax_functions.php 404 (Not Found)

But If I copy/paste that URL in the address bar, it exists...

In ajax_functions.php I had:

require('../../../wp-blog-header.php');

I changed it by:

require('../../../wp-load.php');

Now its working fine, but i dont know why doesnt work with wp-blog-header because its in the same folder as wp-load.php

Is the ajax_functions.php page on the same domain as the page hosting the Javascript?

You may be getting blocked because of XSS in which case you'll need to specify a dataType of jsonp in your AJAX options.

Otherwise make sure the URL actually handles POST requests. If you need help with this, show your PHP code for that page.

Try putting the full url "http://www.mydomain.com/wp-content/themes/mytheme/ajax_functions.php " in the url: parameter instead of relying on the module/browser to determine the domain.
