I have DreamHost VPS hosting, the server is Apache. When I load my web-site in the browser, and inspect the HTTP reqests/responses in my browser's dev tools, I can see that my browser sends 

Accept-Encoding    gzip, deflate

in all HTTP requests it makes (for all file types). However, when I inspect the HTTP responses, I see this header for the main HTML file:

Content-Encoding    gzip

but this header is not present in HTTP responses for my JS, CSS, and image files. Does this mean that my server doesn't GZIP these types of files?

apache-2.2

I have a web-page on my domain (ecmazing.com), and I'd like to be able to send AJAX requests to this URL:

http://hacheck.tel.fer.hr/xml.pl

It's a Perl script that is located on a different domain (and it returns an XML response).

The "Same origin policy" doesn't allow for Ajax communication from a web-page on my domain.

Now, I've heard about CORS, and I think that it could solve my issue. If I understand correctly, the admin of the hacheck.tel.fer.hr domain would have to configure the web-server so that Ajax requests from my domain (ecmazing.com) would be permitted.

Could you tell my what actions specifically the admin would have to perform? I'm going to contact him so I'd like to be able to give him the specifics...

CORS spec is here: http://www.w3.org/TR/cors/
