[Mapserver-users] ArcExplorer 4.0.1 and Mapserver WMS - Wiki page

[Antti.Roppola at brs.gov.au]

Hi Thomas,

To answer your questions:

1. The client is Windows 2000 Pro. The server is Mapserver 3.6.1
or 3.6.4 on Linux depending on whether it's my dev box or not.

2. My guess is that it means that it is probably OK. I'd try and
test it by issuing getMap requests manually or pointing one of the
online WMS clients (such as Cubewerx) at it. I am not sure about how
detailed the checking inside Mapserver is, though it is acceptable
to Arc Explorer.

3. Shouldn't be anything special. Just remember that you can't send
headers as part of a web request after any regular output (STDOUT)
has been sent. PHP will generate an error and tell you if you try. :o)

FWIW, I found getting the syntax just right to be the most fiddley
part of the operation.

Cheers,

Antti

G'Day Antti,

Thanks for posting the document on wiki !!

I'm trying to get ArcExplorer connecting to MapServer... without a lot of
success to date.

I have a couple of questions:

1.  What type of system did you manage to get it working on, and will it
work in a window environment.  I am using the MapServer 3.6.3 windows binary
from the mapserver website (which says it is OGC WMS compliant.  as does
running mapserv -v
2.  If the "GetCapatiblies" XML document contains no "WARNINGS" does this
mean it is WMS compliant?  Or just no obvious issues which will cause
ArcExplorer to fail !
3.  I am currently using a windows binary version of PHP (CGI only) are they
any issue there ? eg. getting the header part of the document inserted ??

I have gone through the WMSMapServer document, but I can't find any obvious
non-WMS compliant parts.

Any ideas

Many thanks
Tom Bartlett
