[OpenLayers-Users] using mapserver for wmsgetfeatureinfo

[Andreas Hocevar]

You can also do a GetFetureInfo popup from remote servers without
proxy. Don't use the WMSGetFeatureInfo control, but create a popup
with an IFrame as content, where you compose the url manually using
the click position (xy property of the click event).
