Rails spinoffs - Jun 2008 - Prototype: Use of /proxy?url= to circumvent the Same Origin Policy

Hi, everyone.

I was able to get the Ajax.Request basically working, such that it
returns "Damn! You are beyond #10...", but I had to change the
"/proxy?
url=" to "http://localhost/myApp/proxy.html?url=".  Apparently,
the
response is just my proxy.html page.

With "/proxy?url=" in place, WebSphere shows an error:

SRVE0017W: A WebGroup/Virtual Host to handle /proxy has not been
defined.

Surely someone else has run across this issue, but googling returns me
no evidence of it.

How do I set up this /proxy url redirection? I''ve tried various ways
in proxy.html, but with no success Is there a config setting in
web.xml perhaps?

I suspect your problem doesn''t lie in prototype but with your web  
server and/or middleware.

In other words if you just type "proxy?url=" in a browser does it  
work? Or do you have to type "http://localhost/myApp/proxy.html?url="
to make the page work in a web browser.  Most likely you server isn''t  
mapping the URL "/proxy" to the file "/app/proxy.html".

So I''d look at your server config and how your websphere is setup to  
handle URL design.

I suspect you are right, i.e. I have to type in the latter.  What was
the author''s intent, though?
What did she have in her server config settings to get this to work?
What would be the syntax, and which config file would I change?
web.xml?
