[OpenLayers-Users] GetFeatureInfo works in IE, not FF, beginner wonders why.

[RT90]

Hmm, well, I installed Apache and let it run on localhost:8080, and let it
host my OL html page.
As long as GeoServer is running that port however, the Apache-hosted html is
unreachable, which I guess is logical :p Same port = collision, different
ports = browser policy breach.

I think http://faq.openlayers.org/proxyhost/all/ would help, but I'm unsure
how to employ it: Download script, put into /apache/cgi-bin; edit OL html
page = add "OpenLayers.ProxyHost = "/../cgi-bin/proxy.cgi?url=";" as
seemingly instructed, attempt to access
http://yourdomain.example.com/cgi-bin/proxy.cgi - 404.

I'll ponder this for a bit, for surely they must run on different ports to
begin with?
