[OpenLayers-Users] Configure ProxyHost and KML files

[Alexandre Dube]

OpenLayers.Format.KMZ doesn't exist.  You should try KML instead and 
have &format=application/vnd.google-earth.kml+XML in your url instead.  
I never tried it thought, but that's what I would try.

By the way, KMZ is a zipped version of a KML.  You could replace a 
file.kmz to file.zip then unzip it and you would have your uncompressed 
KML.  OpenLayers currently can't read KMZ files.

Alexandre
