[OpenLayers-Users] WMSgetFeatureInfo ProxyHost

[Phil Scadden]

What happens if you try the same call directly in the browser (right 
click on the call in the NET tab of fire bug and choose "open in new 
tab"? (or just the URL direct into browser bar). You want to compare the 
call via the proxy with the call made direct. You dont have browser 
security in the way doing this. If it is POST data rather than GET, then 
try with CURL or with this rather nifty free tool 
http://code.google.com/p/rest-client/ (I use this constantly).

If it works to remoteIP when going direct but returns 401 (or whatever 
the proxy is set to on fail) when going through proxy, then proxy is 
misconfigured. If direct call fails, then problem must lie with security 
at geoserver end or with firewall rules.
