[OpenLayers-Users] openMNND demo

[bradleyspencer]

Stephen,

Thanks for that.

I actually have no WFS/WMS server on my webserver. One of my customers has
provided me remote access to their OGC resources so I can concentrate on
apps and demos. After all this is what distributed computing is all about.

So before I try to get WFS working against their server via my application,
I thought I should get openMNND running as an application but accessing the
existing remote WFS data.

So I am told that this is cross domain accessing that will not work via JS
unless the application first goes via a proxy server. So I am trying to set
up a proxy server on my web server that my application will refer to that is
not a JS application.

Does that sound right to you?

So when I loaded the example one it was a Python script which I did not have
installed and know nothing about. I thought that it would be easy to
configure Apache to be a Forward Proxy but am having difficulty there too. I
am an application bloke not a systems bloke so need some help.

Cheers,

Brad,

Just checking, but you do realize that you do not need a proxy if you
are going to setup your own wfs server. For example you can use the
remote examples that have already been provided to you as example. You
can see all the client code and do everything except host that demo on
your server without the proxy.

I setup my own wfs server for my data and then built my ld-test.html
script with some help from Christopher and by mimicing the openMNND demo
that was running from the openlayers site.

Maybe I'm missing the point but you seem to be fighting an issue that
does not have to be solved to get you pages working. I don't run a proxy
on my site, just the wfs server via /cgi-bin/mapserv
