Ed,
thanks for the quick answer. But the answer is: yes... As the WMS service
from where I want to retrieve a layer, does for sure work as it has been
implemented into another application, the problem can hardly be on this
side. I think, something is wrong on the map-file side. As the BBox and
other parameters are produced automatically by MapServer, the URL used in
the CONNECTION line below should be correct...
Just to be sure: Can I have a map-file with multiple local layers, which
are accessed normally, and in addition a couple of WMS layers, accessed as
shown below? I was just wondering if MapServer would be capable of merging
then two, three or four different images, as each WMS service sends its own
image back. I know that I can overlay different requests and thus images
using simple HTML code, but I am not so sure about the method I just wanted
to implement. Stupid question? Hmmm...
Ciao,
Stefan
