Description
Steps to reproduce:
1. Launch Kitchen Sink in both Firefox and Internet Explorer
2. Navigate to Mashups > Twitter
Actual result:
Firefox displays a blank page with console output:
GET http://127.0.0.1:8020/examples/twitter.js 200 OK -12ms
IE doesn't show a new page and has console output:
SCRIPT5007: Unable to get value of the property 'addEventListener': object is null or undefined
Expected result:
The Twitter feed of @appcelerator is displayed
This issue is because of a well documented limitation that Ti.Network.HttpClient cannot connect to cross-domain URLs that don't have CORS configured correctly or a proxy. There is nothing Mobile Web can do to fix this. Possible workaround if Twitter supports jsonp and we updated KitchenSink.
