<DIV><SPAN class=048450013-25052005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>having
now been using the MapServer WCS for quite a while now, I would like to list a
few problems I have had (which</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=048450013-25052005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I am
happy to help fix if given some pointers), and also to ask who else is using the
WCS and for what, and where!</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=048450013-25052005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>The
main problems we have had are;</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

Anything involving reprojection of data fails, I have initialised the projection
object in the layer, and set the output</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

projection but still failure.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=048450013-25052005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>The
reason for me asking is that we find the WCS to be very useful (more so than the
WMS) if you have a thick client</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

analysis on the retrieved data, and we would like to assess the risks of using
MapServer,and to find a way to minimise </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=048450013-25052005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>these
(as in committing our time to a WCS project to reduce this).</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
