Getting txt from server that doesn't allow cross domain ajax

Question

I am trying to get a txt file from another server and load it to a div using jquery ajax.

$("#div1").load("www.serverA1d.com/demo_test.txt");

I get

Origin http://www.mysiteA.com is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin.

I don't have control over the serverA1d or the demo_test.txt. How can I retrieve this txt file using ajax ?

You can't do this with ajax, you need some server side scripting. — mguimard, Nov 12 '13 at 13:54

This can be done, but it's problematic. By default, servers and browsers don't allow this, due to security concerns.

Here's more on the concept of Cross-Domain AJAX calls...

And, here are some ways you can potentially work around this...
