Hi list, A simple question. In OL, can we do a GetFeatureInfo without setting up a Proxy?
The http://trac.openlayers.org/wiki/GetFeatureInfo page doesn't mention the need of a proxy. Before you ask, everything is hosted on the same server (the data, the WMS server, OpenLayers and MapFish) :-) Neither http://trac.openlayers.org/wiki/FrequentlyAskedQuestions#ProxyHost and http://trac.openlayers.org/wiki/WMSManager mention that the proxy requirement also applies to the GetFeatureInfo request. Context: we're setting up MapFish/OpenLayers on one of the highest traffic website of Canada (weather.gc.ca) and the technical staff are having difficulties setting up the Proxy. If there was a workaround not involving a proxy, that would be great. I just rejoined the OL list after two years of absence for this question, I'll move out again in the coming days, you can reach me directly on [email protected] - thank you Thank you for any feedback!
