WMS Data from other server possible ?

[Armin Burger]

Thomas,

here is an example using a Landsat mosaic from the NASA WMS that worked 
for me:

LAYER
   NAME "jpl_wms_global_mosaic"
   TYPE RASTER
   STATUS ON
   CONNECTION "http://wms.jpl.nasa.gov/wms.cgi?"
   CONNECTIONTYPE WMS
   PROJECTION
     "init=epsg:4326"
   END
   METADATA
     "wms_name"            "global_mosaic_base"
     "wms_server_version"  "1.1.1"
     "wms_format"          "image/jpeg"
   END
END


the capabilities request was

http://wms.jpl.nasa.gov/wms.cgi?REQUEST=GetCapabilities&service=WMS&version=1.1.1
