For the record, proxy.cgi is intended only to act as a demonstration of how to set up a proxy. There are many tools for proxying URLs -- from the built in mod_proxy in Apache, to numerous other tools available by searching on Google. The reason that you will likely receive limited support is that this is *not* something specific to OpenLayers, but instead something in wider use throughout the Javascript -- and "AJAX" (I hate that term) community. I recommend broadening your horizons beyond OpenLayers if you are interested in solving this problem. (Without OS X Server to try, I have no interest in remote debugging software that's only tangentinally OpenLayers related.)
