[OpenLayers-Users] Re: GeoServer, Openlayers, Windows - Proxy Hell I think?

[Dominik Mikiewicz]

In general IIS will intercept all the (default) traffic unless you make it
not do it. The url-rewrite link mentioned below is a good place to start.
Two things though:
1. If you would like to hide your geoserver and make it inaccessible from
the internet simply call a proxy that then calls your localhost:8080 or
whatever port you set.
2. If you want to make your geoserver visible from the internet though start
playing with the url rewrite as mentioned. We put a little guide - though
specific to our set up - here:

indows-Server-with-IIS-and-Apache.aspx it may give you an idea of what may
have to be addressed.

Hope this helps
Dominik

Ps. If you need a proxy - a very basic example of asp.net proxy may also be
found on our blog.
