If you want to access some REST web services with your Silverlight application, the third party Server(where the service is, you want to access) needs a clientaccesspolicy.xml or crossdomain.xml in the rootfolder.

But how do i consume or access a REST service, which responds with a xml file, with my Silverlight application but WITHOUT any clientaccesspolicy.xml or crossdomain.xml beeing on that server?

if i write the service url in the addressfield of my browser, i can access the service and see response in browser. u can access service with GET.

edit: i already assume, that i would have to use some kind of proxy, but how for a RESTful service? Is it a clientside or serverside proxy?

How to start?
