ST2 and OpenLayers Proxy for WMS services

[clifficious]

Hi there,

I'm using OpenLayers for an application I want to develop. Now I want to query a WMS-Service. My problem is, that I'm not allowed to access data on another server because of security reasons concerning XSS

Origin http://localhost:8080 is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin.

When I run my code inside a Tomcat I can add a proxy.cgi. But eventually I need to build a proper app and I do not have the option to run a Tomcat inside my app. So what option do I have to get the connection right to connect to a different domain?

Here is my code for the Tomcat:

OpenLayers.ProxyHost = "./cgi-bin/proxy.cgi?url=";
info = new OpenLayers.Control.WMSGetFeatureInfo({
    url: wmsURL, 
    // url: 'http://www.wms.nrw.de/wms/uebersicht_nrw2?',
    title: 'More Information',
    infoFormat: 'application/vnd.ogc.gml',
    layers: [poisWMS],
    queryVisible: false,
    maxFeatures: 5,
    vendorParams: {buffer: 15},
    eventListeners: {
        getfeatureinfo: function(event) {
            setPOIHTML(event.text,map.getLonLatFromPixel(event.xy));
        }
    }
});

I would be very thankful for any solution to this problem.
Thanks in advance!

Cliff

You need to have your server support CORS. Some info: http://enable-cors.org/
