Proxy script for Silex

About

cgi/scripts/proxy.php
This script was started with the help of PHP proxy for FLash cross-domain security problems. It takes a “url” parameter, which is a file you are trying to reach from a Silex connector. If you’re trying to load a file or feed from another site, then you should use this script in order to avoid the crossdomain.xml problem.

How to use this script

In a connector URL, use this URL
<<silex.rootUrl>>cgi/scripts/proxy.php?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F
instead of this one
http://www.google.com/
Here, http%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.fr%2F is the url encoded version of http://www.google.com/ and I use this free online tool to do the conversion.

The result

This is google with proxy and this is without proxy
