Hello Ed

I have tried to connect to a WMS Mapserver from home and everything works 
fine. When I type in the WMS request, I get the map and when I build a 
workaround by dyn layers via transparent image above the mapserver image 
all works fine. It works fine, because the browsers settings refer to the 
proxy, but the cgi does not, I think. My sys admin told me, he can 
recognize, that the mapserver cgi tries a direct connection to the WMS 
client. This is, out of security reasons, not allowed for us.

Best regards
