[mapserver-users] WMS client sample

Wed Jul 22 15:30:55 EDT 2009

Hi all,

I'm trying to show a WMS layer in Mapserver (5.4.1). I've tried to use 
lots of samples from the Internet, but without success.
It woks fine with some local data (shapefiles), so it's not a 
Mapserver/Apache problem (I'm using MS4W). I also have tested the 
connection url in ArcGis, and was ok.
When I try to get WMS layer, it just show a blank rectangle...
Does anyone could help or send me some working sample (html and .map)?

Below is my last tried.

Thanks,
Evemar
