Ah, yes, you open a window with a URL that gets HTML back. If you want
the flexibility you were asking for, I think you'll stay stuck until you
overcome the proxy hurdle.

Where do you serve your HTML from? Apache on port 80? And your GeoServer
is on port 8080? If you place your proxy.cgi in your cgi-bin directory,
it should work (make sure its exececutable). Or otherwise, why not setup
Apache to proxy pass all requests to /geoserver/* to
http://localhost:8080/geoserver/*? Then you don't need a proxy script at
all.
