How to get WFS and WFS-T layers from Geoserver to the GeoDjango?

[Ram Shrestha]

Hi, 

Please help me setup proxy in geodjango to access geoserver WFS layers.

I had previously setup proxy in apache, with PHP using proxy.cgi written in python. Now I wan to learn GeoDjango for web application development. 

I tried to setup proxy using GeoNode's proxy.py view with url pattern of the urls.py inside proxy app. but could not get it right. What I did is. I copied proxy app from the GeoNode project and placed it inside my project. Then modified settings,py, urls and templates  as shown below.  Geoserver is running at http://localhost:8080 and the GeoDjango web app at http://localhost:8000

I heard of django-http-proxy. Can I use it for this purpose. Please point me to tutorial. 

inside settings.py-->installed apps{

'EMIS.proxy',

}

inside urls.py

urlpatterns += patterns('geonode.proxy.views',

    (r'^proxy/', 'proxy'),

    (r'^gs/rest/styles', 'geoserver_rest_proxy', dict(

        proxy_path='/gs/rest/styles', downstream_path='rest/styles')),

    (r'^gs/rest/layers', 'geoserver_rest_proxy', dict(

        proxy_path='/gs/rest/layers', downstream_path='rest/layers')),

)

inside template geoserver.html

var map;

            OpenLayers.ProxyHost = "http://localhost:8000/proxy/?url=";

            function init(){...

}

I get the error:

POST http://localhost:8000/proxy/?url=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A8080%2Fgeoserver%2FEMIS%2Fwfs 404 (NOT FOUND)
