[OpenLayers-Users] using a proxy

[LaurentPierre]

WMS Requests don't use a proxy. (They don't need to...) If you want a
proxy on a WMS request, just make the URL of the WMS point to a proxy:
http://localhost/cgi-bin/proxy.cgi?url=http://localhost/geoserver . 
but in the general case, there's no need to do this, because browsers
can request image tags from other servers, and this will simply
double the neccesary bandwidth to serve your tiles (once to the proxy,
once to the outside world).  


Thanks.  Futhermore I was wrong to call localhost .. in my mind I meant 'the
host where the page is located' instead of 'the page where the page is
executed'.

Cheers 

Laurent
