AW: [Mapserver-users] WMS questions

[Arnulf Christl CCGIS]

Hi,
check for the WMTVER tag - thats the version of WMS used. In our case we
have to set it to 1.0.0 because our client will not handle version 1.1.0
which is what MapServer currently returns by default.

Check out these URLS; this one does not return an XML that can be displayed
in IE (shows the download dialog):
http://wms.ccgis.de/umn/bin/mapserv.exe?map=Germany.map&request=Capabilities

This returns an XML which can be displayed directly:
http://wms.ccgis.de/umn/bin/mapserv.exe?map=Germany.map&request=Capabilities
&WMTVER=1.0.0

Regards, Arnulf.

Alessandro,

Thanks for the responses, but I think there are other problems. I think this
about the header problem for three reasons:

1. It works with 3.6.0, but maybe there was a change with 3.6.3
2. I can send a GetCapabilites request to an ArcIMS server using the WMS
connector and the browser displays it. I think the MIME type for it's
response is application/vnd.org.wms_xml as well.
3. I have the same problem with the gif, png, or jpg images returned from a
GetMap request

About the WMS client problem, I do have the projection defined at the map
level in both map files, in the layer in both map files, and as the
"wms_srs" metadata tag in the web object of both map files, even though all
the data is in the same projection: EPSG:26918. I tried it without defining
the projection too since they are all the same, but I get the same error.
