Hi Mike, if you want data from Horde, best do it this way:

Call HordeCore.doAction() from the client. doAction adds
security/authentication related stuff to your bare ajax call.

It will call $app/lib/Ajax/Application/ and, implicitly, a Handler. The
handler needs to have a method name corresponding to the command used in
doAction. Return an array/hash of serializable data and doAction will
receive a JSON structure including this data.

I think there is a horde wiki entry explaining this ajax mechanism in
detail.
