[OpenLayers-Users] WMSGetFeatureInfo and proxy

[Steve.Toutant at inspq.qc.ca]

firebug found OpenLayers.ProxyHost into example.js
That is a script from mapfish used for the print widget example.

Just removed it and now it is working with or without specifying the url 
in the parameters list of WMSGetFeatureInfo.

Thanks for your help,
Steve

If you type "OpenLayers.ProxyHost" into Firebug or some other debugging 
tool,
what does it tell you?
