I am using nginx and uwsgi. I have proxy directives defined in the nginx
configuration. You are correct that I am displaying layers from a Geoserver
which is not on the server. However I am able to see WMS layers on the Geoserver
just fine. It is only the WMSGetFeatureInfo that is failing. I presume
WMSGetFeatureInfo uses a GET request under the hood. If so, my proxy is fine
because otherwise, the WMS layer wouldn't display.

In addition, and the real killer, is that hitting the same server from a Windows
box, renders the map just fine and allows the clickable interaction I need. It
only seems to be a problem of the Firefox client on Ubuntu.

Again to reiterate, 
Ubuntu Firefox -> known working remote server fails
Ubuntu Firefox -> same machine server fails
Windows box Firefox -> know working remote server works
Windows box Firefox -> same Ubuntu machine server two lines up works

Any ideas?

thanks,
Danny
