hi -
I've been working with the wms capabilities store example to try to
retrieve an external getcapabilities doc using the python proxy.cgi and
display a grid view. I've added the external wms host to the proxy.cgi
script and I can test the proxy by typing
"http://localhost:8080/proxy.cgi"; in my browser (running a localhost
python cgi) and it returns the OpenLayers home page. So, I can assume
it's working as expected (python is being called, etc.)? I can also
type the url of the getcapabilities doc in my browser
'http://hdds.usgs.gov/ArcGIS/services/201004_OilSpill_GulfOfMexico/MapServer/WMSServer?request=GetCapabilities'
and it returns an xml doc.
Should I now be able to do something like this or am I completely off track:
Ext.onReady(function() {
OpenLayers.ProxyHost = "proxy.cgi?url=";
store = new GeoExt.data.WMSCapabilitiesStore({
url:
'http://hdds.usgs.gov/ArcGIS/services/201004_OilSpill_GulfOfMexico/MapServer/WMSServer?request=GetCapabilities',
autoLoad: true
});
store.load();
etc.......
It's not showing errors in the console. The page just isn't loading so
I'm guessing it's still same origin policy stuff?
Thanks in advance for any tips.
