== GIS Proxy ==
!OpenLayers needs a Proxy for some functions (e.g. GeoRSS, WFS) due to Javascript cross-domain security:
 * http://faq.openlayers.org/proxyhost/

We need to rewrite the !OpenLayers example as a Web2Py controller function:
 * http://trac.openlayers.org/browser/trunk/openlayers/examples/proxy.cgi

We should then make it's list of allowed hosts configurable via the Map Service Catalogue (done transparently in the background whenever needed).

Potentially this could be useful for other modules as well.
