In [Known Bugs](http://rippledocs.tinyhippos.com/index.html#bugs) there is the comment, "XMLHttpRequest in the file:/// scheme only support GET requests." but I've found that even GET fails with the following error:

PhoneGap :: XMLHttpRequest :: setRequestHeader does not work with JSONP.

GET http://api.tinyhippos.com/jsonp_xhr_proxy?callback=jXHR.cb1&tinyhippos_apikey=ABC&tinyhippos_rurl=http%3A//www.foobar.com/login.do%3Femail%3Dfoo%26password%3Dbar%26_%3D1323708755030 503 (Service Unavailable)

I'm using the `file://` scheme as described in the known bug with jQuery AJAX requests, trying both POST and GET.
