Ajax Get XML - Google Directions

Question

I had the following script working two weeks ago in XAMPP, today it doesnt work.

var url = 'http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/directions/xml?origin=Chicago,IL&destination=Los+Angeles,CA&waypoints=Joplin,MO|Oklahoma+City,OK&sensor=false';

$.ajax({

type: "GET",
url: url,
dataType: "xml",
async: false,
success: function(xml) {

$(xml).find("route").each(function(){

var startaddresss = $(this).find('start_address').text();

    alert(startaddresss);
});
}
});

If i save the XML to XAMPP and call it from AJAX it works fine. What changed in the last two weeks?

Thanks

Cant fix the issue. So i will use PHP to fetch the file and return JSON.
