Hola Diego!

	That's one and the most standard way, you can also try using the
HTTPXMLRequest, a trusted ActiveX object which can be used from Internet
Explorer, Mozilla, etc. Works in windows and unix, and AFAIK Ajax heavily
uses it. I think this HTTPXMLRequest will be more and more standard, as
more web applications start using it. And XML is not a bad option...
	However, for security restrictions, most connections you'll be able
to open will be limited to the originating host.

	You could open new windows or iframes or something. I think this
effectively work on different native processes/threads.

	This sounds like science fiction :-)
