Thanks Jukka, Robert,<br><br>Jukka was right... it was saved as mapserv.exe, but when I opened it with an editor, it was the appropriate XML... I just assumed that it was downloading the binary itself and didn't bother downloading it.<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
I believe everything is OK. Try saving the file mapserv.exe on your disk and open it with text editor. It is just that WMS standard gives such a MIME type for GetCapabilities response that it is not often recognised as XML.<br>
