Can I reproject WMS service using cgi parameters?

[Ed McNierney]

Tomas -

I have never heard of this and cannot find a reference to it in the WMS
1.1.1 spec at http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/wms, nor in the new
1.3 spec (not supported by MapServer).  The WMS spec does not say anything
about the internal details of an SRS definition, so there would be no way to
know what to find inside a URL-based reference to a file defining an SRS.

It is very difficult to compare SRS definitions when described
parametrically; there are several ways of saying the same thing, and it¹s
hard to tell whether minor differences are supposed to be differences or
just discrepancies.  That¹s why the use of SRS catalogs is so helpful ­ the
model of namespace:srsname makes it easy to tell whether a requested SRS is
something you can understand or not.

Hi,
it is misunderstanding, I mean this style of SRS parameter value:
"http://my.server.com/path_to_file_with_mySRS_definition"
<http://my.server.com/path_to_file_with_mySRS_definition>
