WMS client and misbehaving servers

[Bart van den Eijnden]

Hi list,

I am running into a problem where an ArcIMS server does not behave
correctly, even though we ask for exceptions inimage, it returns an empty
response with content-type text/plain.

Because of this, Mapserver will bail out and say:

msDrawMap(): WMS connection error. Failed to draw WMS layer named '0'. This
most likely happened because the remote WMS server returned an invalid
image, and XML exception or another unexpected result in response to the
GetMap request. Also check and make sure that the layer's connection URL is
valid. <br>
msDrawRaster(): Image handling error. Unrecognized or unsupported image
format <br>
drawEPP(): Image handling error. EPPL7 support is not available. <br>

What I would want is for Mapserver WMS client to just ignore this layer,
rather than bailing out completely. Is that possible somehow?

TIA.

Best regards,
Bart
