[Gdal-dev] OGR WCTS Win32 configuration

[Bowerman,Dan [Burlington]]

Hi Frank, thank you for your fast response;

Should the WTCS service be accessible through an URL like this:
http://mydomain.ca/cgi-bin/ogrwcts.exe?request=GetCapabilities
Or would I need to create a CGI wrapper for this to work under
Windows/IIS? Currently on my server, the URL above will prompt you to
download the executable rather than return the expected XML document. 

Thanks,

Dan,

Are you familiar with setting up cgi web services like MapServer?  It
should be similar in that you just copy the ogrwcts.exe and
wctsclient.exe
executables to your cgi-bin directory.  Keep the notes about the
PROJ_LIB
and GDAL_DATA environment variables in mind.  On windows the default
locations
to search for stuff is different, and you will almost certainly have to
set these two enviroment variables (perhaps as system environment
variables)
to point to where the supporting data files are.

Best regards,
