[OpenLayers-Users] free proxy wfs

[Phil Scadden]

> Anyway the decision is not mine, I have to provide a working web client bringing the functionality of modify features, so I need a WFS-t in the backend. Moreover I need to provide a wfs-t accessible without a proxy for architecture reasons since the web browser and the web server will be embebbed in a C++ standalone application and we cannot modify the web server to host  a proxy.

The need for a proxy is dictated by security features of the browser. 
Most browsers will not do cross-domain XHR for very very good reasons. 
Its a pretty strange server that cant host a proxy. What is the servlet 
container that hosts your the WFS server?(and why cant the proxy live in 
that?). If the only WFS features you are dealing are hosted on embedded 
server, then you may be able to configure so request is not 
cross-domain. Might also depend on what exactly this embedded web 
browser actually is. The alternative would be protocol.script but you 
will be writing a lot of code to work around its limitations. Effective 
web apps work to principle of having the server do most of the computing 
so I am curious as to how serverside works for your application.  I 
would have to say that using embedded web-server and browser + OL for a 
standalone C# mapping application is a pretty strange choice. OL has to 
work around web limitations that simply dont exist to a standalone C# 
application.
