[OpenLayers-Users] Visualizing WFS in Open Layers

Dear users,

some steps further with that problem but still not at the target.

It seems that proxy.cgi is parsed but the WFS doesn`t still appear.
(http://www.gastronomap.de/behncke/openlayers/examples/wfs.html)

If I run

http://www.gastronomap.de/cgi-bin/proxy.cgi

I get "Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"

If I run (for example):

http://www.gastronomap.de/cgi-bin/proxy.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bsc-eoc.org%2Fcgi-bin%2Fbsc_ows.asp%
3Ftypename%3DOWLS%26SERVICE%3DWFS%26VERSION%3D1.0.0%26REQUEST%3DGetFeature%26SRS%3DEPSG%253A4326%26BBOX%
3D-205.46875%2C-45.46875%2C5.46875%2C165.46875

I get "Content-Type: text/xml",

but somehow the geodata don`t appear in OL (but there is no error message at all).
I also tried to take out
               

{featureClass: OpenLayers.Feature.WFS}

of     layer = new OpenLayers.Layer.WFS( "Owl Survey",
                "http://www.bsc-eoc.org/cgi-bin/bsc_ows.asp?",
                {typename: "OWLS"},
                { featureClass: OpenLayers.Feature.WFS});


Hmmmmm.........


Which Proxy-Skripts do you use? Do you use also the proxy.cgi out of the examples-directoy?
I wonder what possibilities I have to check if the skript is all right.
So far I tested in the shell with "python proxy.cgi" and it seemed fine.

Might it has something to do with Apache?


Thank you very much, Kai
