Search the mailing list, I posted a WFS proxy in asp.net a while back. John
-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jeff Dege Sent: Friday, October 05, 2007 9:57 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [OpenLayers-Users] OpenLayers Proxying in IIS OpenLayers uses AJAX, and AJAX has a problem with cross-domain http requests. So OpenLayers has a mechanism by which a proxy prefix can be prepended to every request, directing the request to a proxy site on the host domain. The issue has always been how to set up such a proxy site. If your website is hosted by Apache, it's easy. Apache ships with tools that make creating such a proxy easy. If your website is IIS, it has not been. I, at least, have been unable to find either public domain code, or understandable instructions, on how to create a proxying site for IIS. I've asked on OpenLayers-Users, and had no answers. I've asked elsewhere, and had no answers. Eventually, I found a discussion of the issue: http://blogs.msdn.com/david.wang/archive/2005/08/01/HOWTO_Common_URL_Red irection_Techniques_for_IIS_Summary.aspx The relevant quote: No one seems to provide modules to do Server-Side Redirection or Server-Side Forwarding on IIS for free. At least, I am not aware of any free/open-source add-on IIS modules which implement those Server-Side behaviors; I only know of for-fee modules like ISAPIRewrite. Which got me looking for ISAPIRewrite. This I found at: http://www.helicontech.com/isapi_rewrite/ This is a commercial, but reasonably priced ($99), ISAPI filter DLL that implements the functionality of Apache's mod_rewrite and mod_proxy. And with it, creating a forwarding proxy for OpenLayers is simple. ISAPI_Rewrite has a "lite" version that is free, but the lite version doesn't do proxying. The commercial version is available for download on a 45-day free trial. I downloaded it yesterday morning, and had a proxy working before lunchtime. I know there are others who have had the same problem. This may be of help. _______________________________________________ Users mailing list [email protected] http://openlayers.org/mailman/listinfo/users No virus found in this incoming message.
