XML, SOAP and webservices

a few months ago I learned what webservices were and began using REST requests (and XML) to get data from them. Now I have moved on to full fledged SOAP requests with headers and all. Currently, I am using PHP to access the webservices that I use.
My question is this:
Is it possible to create a script in ANY language (perhaps using JS and AJAX?) to contact the webservice WITHOUT going through my server? I can do it through macromedia flash (AS) but I am restricted to the current domain where the flash file is located (so I cannot contact the webservice due to security restrictions)...
In regards to Javascript restrictions, I read here (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/webservices/library/ws-wsajax/">http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/w ... ws-wsajax/</a><!-- m -->) that it is possible to digitally sign the Javascript

"By digitally signing a JavaScript script, you are telling the Web browser that it can be trusted not to perform any malicious activity and that the restriction on what data XMLHttpRequest can access should be lifted."

any help suggestions would be appreciated
