[mapserver-users] WMS don't load

[Rahkonen Jukka]

Hi,

Is either of your servers behind a proxy?

Another thing, your connection string is not correct and I am surprised that one server is working.  I suggest you to follow the instructions of document http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/wms_client.

Your connection is of very old format and there is no need to use that.  Use the current format as described in the document above. Especially you don't for sure need request=GetMap, BBOX, WIDTH and HEIGHT here.  Version, SRS, LAYERS and FORMAT are meant to be captured from metadata section when using the new format. PROJECTION is unnecessary for cascaded WMS layers but it should not harm if it is correct, like you seem to have. Take it away still.
wms_name in metadata should obviously be "pe_15m".
wms_format should be "image/gif"

Correcting these should bring you at least closer to a working connection.

Version 5.0.0 on the server that works well
Version 5.2.0 on the server where WMS don't load


Also, If I call the WMS directly from internet explorer with
http://atlas.gc.ca/cgi-bin/atlaswms_fr?VERSION=1.1.1&request=GetMap&SRS=EPSG:42304&BBOX=-2750564.75,-936638.5,3583872.5,4673125&WIDTH=400&HEIGHT=300&LAYERS=pe_15m&STYLES=&FORMAT=GIF

it works on both servers so I guess it is not a network problem.
Here is the layer part of my mapfile:
  LAYER # pe WMS map from geoConnexion
    NAME         pe
    TYPE         RASTER
    OFFSITE      0 0 0
    STATUS       default
    CONNECTIONTYPE WMS
    CONNECTION 
"http://atlas.gc.ca/cgi-bin/atlaswms_fr?VERSION=1.1.1&request=GetMap&SRS=EPSG:42304&BBOX=-2750564.75,-936638.5,3583872.5,4673125&WIDTH=400&HEIGHT=300&LAYERS=pe_15m&STYLES=&FORMAT=GIF"
 
   # METADATA
   #   "wms_srs" "EPSG:42304"
   #   "wms_name" "pe"
   #   "wms_server_version" "1.1.1"
   #   "wms_format" "gif"
   # END

    PROJECTION
      "init=epsg:42304"
    END
  END # pe WMS image ends here


I tried with the METADATA statement unmarked as well
thanks,
Steve
