[mapserver-users] WFS Client through Proxy and HTTP Authentication

[bteluk at gmail.com]

Hi, 

I have MapServer 5.6.0 running on RHEL5.5 (FGS9.5 MapServer package) 

I'm behind a proxy (NTLM), and I want to access a WFS source outside that
requires HTTP Authentication.  I'm using a WFS Client setup in my Map file,
and I'm accessing my MapServer using WFS too - eg. a WFS Client... all up a
sort of WFS Relay. 

I can do it fine with WMS, however, I can't get it to work with WFS - is it
actually supposed to work?  (not documented in the manual.)  I tried using
"ows_" prefixed METADATA which works fine with WMS (to the same service.)

Here's my map file extract: 
LAYER 
  NAME "TempDryBulb" 
  TYPE RASTER 
  STATUS ON 
  DEBUG ON 
  CONNECTIONTYPE WMS 
  CONNECTION "http://reg.bom.gov.au/cgi-bin/reg/ws/gis/users/bomg0022/wxs?" 
  METADATA 
    # Source Data 
    "wfs_connectiontimeout" "30" 
    "wfs_maxfeatures" "10" 
    "wfs_typename" "IDY03103_dryblb" 
    "wfs_version" "1.0.0" 
    "wfs_srs" "EPSG:4283" 
    
    # Source Auth 
    "ows_auth_username" "mybomuser" 
    "ows_auth_password" "{secrethere}" 
    "ows_auth_type" "basic" 
    
    # EDN Proxy Auth 
    "ows_proxy_auth_type" "ntlm" 
    "ows_proxy_host" "httpgw.mycompany.com.au" 
    "ows_proxy_port" "8080" 
    "ows_proxy_type" "http" 
    "ows_proxy_username" "myuser" 
    "ows_proxy_password" "{secrethere}" 

    # Layer Outgoing Metadata 
    "wfs_title" "TempDryBulbWFS" 
  END # METADATA 
... 

Here's my errors:

Note: I used msencrypt for the passwords, and these did work fine for WMS. 

Note2: using wget or curl from the command line on the server works fine
(with the proxy credentials specified.)

Thanks in advance!
