How to make Request.JSON work cross-domain (Mootools)?

Question

I am executing an index.html file from the server test1.com. Mootools library file is included in this index.html file.

Following is a script that calls a PHP page:

<script>
  var request = new Request.JSON({
    url: 'http://test1.com/ajaxtest.php',
    onSuccess: function(data) {
      // the request was completed.
      alert(JSON.stringify(data));
    }
  }).send();
</script>

ajaxtest.php

<?php
  $arr['age'] = 30;
  $arr['place'] = 'London';
  echo json_encode($arr); exit;
?>

While executing index.html, I'm getting the correct output"

{"age":30,"place":"London"}

Now, ajaxtest.php is residing on another server, say test2.com. How to change the above script to make it work as earlier?

@epascarello. I have added the code header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin: '.$_SERVER['HTTP_ORIGIN']); header('Access-Control-Allow-Methods: POST, GET, OPTIONS'); header('Access-Control-Max-Age: 1000'); header('Access-Control-Allow-Headers: Content-Type'); in ajaxtest.php — user2659554, Oct 09 '13 at 12:54

Not sure if this will be helpful to you now.

You need to use the Request.JSONP Class object to make cross site request:

new Request.JSONP({
url: "http://search.twitter.com/search.json",
data: {
    q: "Arsenal"
},
onComplete: function(tweets) {
    // Log the result to console for inspection
    console.info("Twitter returned: ",tweets);
}
}).send();
