Thanks for the answer.

My problem is that when I use an external server (other than 127.0.0.1) 
it doesn't work (no request is sent at all if I look at the Console tag 
in Firebug).  Loading from my local WMS server works (same layer, same 
mapfile).

My guess was it had something to proxy stuff, I'm pretty much clueless 
from there...

The store is created with :

        var url = Ext.getCmp('wms_url').value;

        if(!url) {
            alert(OpenLayers.i18n('Please, enter an url in the textbox 
above'));
            return;
        }

        var params = 
OpenLayers.Util.getParameterString(this.capabilitiesParams);       
        url = OpenLayers.Util.urlAppend(url, params);

        this.WMSCapabilitiesStore =
            new GeoExt.data.WMSCapabilitiesStore({'url': url});
        this.WMSCapabilitiesStore.load();

Do you see anything obvious ?

Many thanks,
