All, I am trying to figure out how Google Maps API really works (not Google Maps/tiles, rendering etc) in the browser environment. My issue is as follows.
We made a simple web page that uses Google Maps Java Script API to provide pan/zoom and click functionality to a custom image (not a Google provided map or any other map). The custom image is an image of a network diagram. We wanted to let users to pan and zoom into the network diagram and then allow them to click on a point and get some information. We now want to host this page on an Intranet web server and the Security team is asking us to explain to them what actually is happening apart from the web server validating the key from the Google servers. So, here are my questions: 1. What is actually happening between the web server that is hosting the web page (that is using Google Maps API) and the Google servers when a User accesses the web page? 2. Is there some code that is getting pushed from the Google servers to the browser when the browser is rendering the web page? Obviously, Security is lot more interested in this item. I tried to search all over blogs and forums to find some answers and I could not find any. I would appreciate if you can point me where I can find some answers and if you can answer these questions, that will be great.
