I downloaded an http debugger tool and checked the getmap request, here it is split up over a number of lines for readability. I checked with the WMS 1.1.1 spec and it complies with GetMap. It does not require a SERVICE parameter and WFS is not specified. I also tried the GET in a web browser and got the same error.<br><br>Could one of the developers confirm that the GET conforms to what mapserver requires for v1.1.1 <br><br>I need someone to give me some advice as I seem to be going around in circles and not getting anywhere i.e. I can't see the wood for the trees<br><br>many many many thanks in advance<br><br>Derek<br>PS My map file is in my initial post if anyone wants to check it out<br><br>GET
