Setting up your own Openlayers Proxyhost
I've seen an example related to WMS Get Feature Info like:
http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/getfeatureinfo-control.html
In this example they use
OpenLayers.ProxyHost = "proxy.cgi?url=";
My question is:
How can we set up our own proxthost for our geoserver layers?
Help would be appreciated.
From the OpenLayers Project Frequently Asked Questions .
To use the cgi proxy you can use the proxy.cgi example from either Trac or GitHub . You should probably use the GitHub link, but I've included the Trac link for completeness.
For standard Apache configuration, you must place proxy.cgi in the / usr / lib / cgi -bin / directory.
You don't need to use a CGI proxy to handle trusted requests across domains. On a machine using IIS to serve the OpenLayers map pages, I used application request routing rather than a CGI script to forward http requests to a trusted GeoServer.
