If I understand correctly, you are facing the Same Origin Policy restriction of the browser. One way to overcome this is indeed using an HTTP proxy. Apache is an obvious choice with extensive documentation and tons of HOWTOs all over the web. There is another option however, especially as you seem to be in control of the server side: Using a technique called "JSON with padding", your client side GWT application can access third party services directly using tricks with iframes and <script> tags. "Mashup" is a good search term for related information.
