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.

I have tried to do it that way, but have been unable to figure out what all needs to be done to make that work.There is very little documentation for developers on Horde.
