[gdal-dev] WMS driver question in spherical mercator

greetings - first and foremost, as usual, I was pleasantly surprised to find more neat stuff when I went looking for it in GDAL. :-)

I'm trying to use this newfangled spherical mercator projection, EPSG:3857, with Mapnik, but want to manage all the raster foo in good old mapserver, with a TINDEX.

So, I have a WMS that works great, with URLs like: 

http://rasterfoo//cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/Users/cgn/public_html/maps/terrain_info/terrain.map&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetMap&BBOX=1001861,-5,1113192,111325&SRS=EPSG:3857&WIDTH=512&HEIGHT=512&LAYERS=SRTM_processed_warped&STYLES=&FORMAT=image/png&DPI=72&TRANSPARENT=TRUE ...

Now, I'm trying to make a nice GDAL source for it, but keep going out of bounds on srcwin  :-( 

Comment/suggestions/RTFMs welcomed...

thanks!
Chris

when I try to make a similar request via gral_translate,  ... :-( 

gdal_translate -of PNG -projwin 1001861 -5 1113192 111325 -outsize 512 512 test.xml test.png

Input file size is 40075016, 40075016
Computed -srcwin 21039368 20037513 111331 -111329 from projected window.
-srcwin 21039368 20037513 111331 -111329 falls outside raster size of 40075016x40075016
or is otherwise illegal.

but xml file seems to be valid:
