[OpenLayers-Users] proxypass and Proxy.cgi

[christopher.schmidt at nokia.com]

The OpenLayers example script proxy.cgi is not designed to solve this problem.

ProxyPass in Apache is a way to solve this problem, but won't really help you
if your webserver is IIS; I presume IIS has similar proxying capabilities. 

Proxy.cgi is used to solve a different problem; if your OpenLayers content is hosted
on the same host/port/scheme as your geo server, then you don't need it.
