use javascript to read a link resource without ajax
<p>Not sure if it's possible but how do I read a resource from a url using javascript without ajax?</p>

<p>for example, the following url is a static text file containing json encoded text</p>

<p><a href="http://mysite.s3.amazonaws.com/jsonencodedcontent.txt" rel="nofollow">http://mysite.s3.amazonaws.com/jsonencodedcontent.txt</a></p>

<p>I'd like to use javascript to read the content from above link, read the json content into a javascript variable.</p>

<p>I can't use ajax because of cross site and I have no control over amazon S3 domain.</p>

<p>anyway to achieve this?</p>
