Hi Jonathan,
My app uses PHP/CURL to send the XML query to the IP address of the server such
as http://1.2.3.4:8080/geoserver/wfs.
Up till now (for testing the app) I have been using a copy of Geoserver
installed locally on the server - which worked fine.
I'm struggling to get my head around the problem. Surly Geoserver listens on a
given port and responds accordingly??
Thanks,
Steve

Hi Steve,
This is almost certainly because your browser doesn't want you to. It's a
security thing - you can't make WFS requests to a server that isn't the host.
So:
GeoServer: www.example.com:8080<http://www.example.com:8080>
WWW: www.example.com:8080<http://www.example.com:8080>
Will work perfectly.
But the second the WWW is different from the GeoServer, either via Host name or
port number, your browser won't allow the request.
To get around it you'll need to use a proxy server installed on the WWW which
makes the requests to the GeoServer. Google around and you should find
something - "cross domain" would be one set of keywords.
Regards,
Jonathan

Hi All,
I'm having a little difficulty accessing my Geoserver remotely.
The scenario: I have an application on a server in 'the cloud' that talks to my
Geoserver sat in my office. We have the necessary firewall rules to allow 8080
traffic between the 2 servers. The cloud server runs MS Server 2008 and from
there I can open a web browser and connect to the IP of my internal server fine
- the Geoserver admin GUI loads fine.
However, if whilst logged on to the cloud sever I access the 'demo' feature on
my internal server and run a WFS query (as my app would) I get an error message:
<servlet-exception>
HTTP response: 403
Forbidden ( The server denied the specified Uniform Resource Locator (URL).
Contact the server administrator. )
</servlet-exception>
How do I allow remote IP addresses to be able to run WFS/WMS queries against my
data?
Many thanks,
Steve
