[mapserver-users] MapServer calculates wrong WGS84BoundingBox for WCS request using EPSG:28992

[Rahkonen Jukka (Tike)]

Hi,

Both my MS4W with Mapserver 6.3-dev and 6.4 on Linux use these definitions
# Amersfoort / RD New
<28992> +proj=sterea +lat_0=52.15616055555555 +lon_0=5.38763888888889 +k=0.9999079 +x_0=155000 +y_0=463000 +ellps=bessel +towgs84=565.417,50.3319,465.552,-0.398957,0.343988,-1.8774,4.0725 +units=m +no_defs  <>

You say that they wrong and +towgs84 parameters in your mapfile are correct? If so, then you can update the values into your epsg file that is in your PROJ_LIB directory. We seem to have PROJ-4.8.0 on Linux.

I have seen with WMS that supports many projections that extent calculations for different projections are not always reliable. It is more reliable if layer extents are given in the layer metadata. Add "wcs_extent" metadata as shown in http://www.mapserver.org/ogc/wcs_server.html and try if that changes anything.

Dear list members,

I just discovered that my MapServer installation is calculating a wrong WGS84BoundingBox tag.

I know that were issues in the past with the definition of EPSG:28992 in which my data is stored. I was checking all epsg files on the system and als set the config flag for PROJ_LIB in the map file. But it seems that MapServer is still ignoring the correct settings for EPSG:28992 and takes the "old" definition without proper proj towgs flags.

The services are public and you can find below the links [1] to a DescribeCoverage for the WCS I am refering to. ro_dsm_mini is a small layer which I am using for testing. BBOX in 28992 is the correct one of the data source, the corresponding WGS84BoundingBox which is giving back is wrong.
I am using http://cs2cs.mygeodata.eu<http://cs2cs.mygeodata.eu/> for checking.

I also paste the relevant part of the map file [2].


Any further help is appreciated.
Many thanks in advance,
Christian
