+WMS web mapping server. It need only be told the desired data to collect
(bounds and resolution) via a region, the server to get the data from, and
the layer or layers to get. It downloads the data in tiles, reprojects it,
imports it, and patches it back together.
-<H2>NOTES</H2>
+<h2>NOTES</h2>
By default data is downloaded to $GISDBASE/wms_download. This can be changed
-by setting the <EM>folder=</EM> option when using <EM>r.in.wms</EM>.

+by setting the <b>folder</b> option when using <em>r.in.wms</em>.

+<p>
To understand the data you are getting it is necessary to look at the
capabilities of the WMS server. This should be available via a capabilities
request. This is an
<a href="http://wms.jpl.nasa.gov/wms.cgi?request=GetCapabilities">example
capabilities request to NASA's OnEarth server</a>.

Some brain-dead servers will only talk to certain web browsers. You can

Other brain-dead servers will not accept queries in the form of POST data.
If you get an error try using the <b>-g</b> flag to force <em>r.in.wms</em>
to send an atomic GET request instead.
