[OpenLayers-Users] Setting / Configuring proxy in Openlayers/JavaScript

[Marc Jansen]

Hi Job,

AFAIK the proxy set up using e.g.

OpenLayers.ProxyHost = "/cgi-bin/proxy.cgi?url=";

Will be used for every AJAX request. Since WMS-Images aren't (usually) requested via XHR, these do not use the proxy. You could try to set the baseURL of your WMS-Layer to point to the proxy, though:

OpenLayers.ProxyHost = "/cgi-bin/proxy.cgi?url=";
var myWMSLayer = new OpenLayers.Layer.WMS(
  "WMS Name",  
  OpenLayers.ProxyHost + 'http://www.example.com/wmsserver?',
  {
    layers: 'humpty'
  }
);


That *could* work (it's untested)

Regards,
Marc
