[Cartoweb-users] wmsBrowserLight

Hi, 
I have a connecting question to the wmsBrowser / proxy problem:
We plan to setup a project with the wmsBrowser plugin activated. 
But our server (cartoweb 3.4 on Ubuntu) stays behind a proxy as do all
the computers in our university network.
Is it possible for the wmsBrowser to connect through a proxy to external
WMS servers? 

Thanks,
Kurt
