The bottom line is if you use a proxy, you need two round trips to
accomplish what can be done in a single round trip using JSON
correctly. The two round trips using a proxy are:

1. A page originally called from your server asks a proxy script on
your server for something needed from geonames.org and waits for the
answer.
2. The proxy script on your server requests that something from
geonames.org and waits for the answer.
3. Geonames.org answers your server's proxy script request.
4. Your server's proxy script sends the answer to the calling page.

This is very slow and ponderous, and also extremely wasteful of both
resources and your users time. I suggest you look into using the JSON
request correctly, it's very simple and easy to use, just search the
forum here for this topic and you'll find at least a dozen answers.
