[Mapserver-users] WMS Cllient for ArcView 3.X

[Paul Ramsey]

Brent,
Shane will tell you where teh magic log file lives. The magic log file 
contains the URL of the latest request. So when you get an error, you 
can plug the URL from the magic log file into your favourite browser and 
see what it returns.  It seems likely that Mapserver is returning an 
error in HTML format, not a map, and that is throwing the client for a loop.
