I am writing a web-crawler with javascript, but in order to view external pages violating the same origin policy, I need to enable the UniversalBrowserRead privilege. This works fine in firefox, but IE doesn't seem to have anything similar. :(

I've been looking on the net and I can't find anything talking about this, so does anyone know how to do this perchance?

Thanks a bunch :D

Using javascript to create a web crawler is not practicle. You should consider using a different programming language.

Why is it not practical? :-/
