[OpenLayers-Users] Proxy.cgi

[Andrés Maneiro]

Hello Truongxuan,

as far as I know, the proxy available in openlayers.org webpage is for 
Apache webserver. The reason why is needed: 
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Same_origin_policy_for_JavaScript

In that case, you would put the proxy file in the path for cgi-bin 
scripts (usually /usr/lib/cgi-bin/ in GNU/Linux systems, but it can be 
configured in apache configuration files). And Apache would use it to 
redirect your petitions to the host allowed in the proxy file.

I have no experience with MapFish, but I think it uses internally pylons 
technology which comes with a python light webserver, so it seems you 
don't need Apache. If that's the case, I think that proxy file will not 
work for you. I would suggest you to look in mapfish documentation and 
ask in mapfish mailinglist. I think they will be more helpful for your 
specific case.

best,
amaneiro
