Meanwhile, the easiest solution for those using 5.0-5.2.0 is adding
"service=wms" to the onlineresource string in the metadata section of
the mapfile, as documented in <br>

I'll close out that new ticket.

<pre wrap="">Right you are, another hidden gem of the specification... I've
assigned a ticket to this. It seems pretty important to my mind, so if
others are busy, I'll fix it.

<pre wrap="">Dear MapServer users,
I recently discovered that MapServer (we are using 5.2.0) requires a SERVICE
parameter (i.e. SERVICE=WMS) in a GetMap OGC request even though this
parameter is not mentioned or required in the WMS 1.1.1 OGC specification
for GetMap requests:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/wms">http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/wms</a>
It is strange that this is so since GetFeature and GetCoverage both require
the SERVICE paramter, but for whatever reason the GetMap spec doesn't. Kind
of an inconsistency in the OGC services, but MapServer needs to abide by it.
This cropped up when a user contacted me that our WMS services were not
working in ArcGIS 9.2 after we upgraded MapServer from 4.9 to 5.2. After
discussion with ESRI, they pointed out that MapServer was throwing an error
about a missing SERVICE parameter because they do not include this parameter
in their GetMap requests. However, the SERVICE parameter should not be
required according to the spec.
I modified our CGI to fill this parameter in by default if not provided as a
workaround, but a future release of MapServer should probably remove the
requirement for this parameter in GetMap requests. Or am I missing something
(always a possibility!)? Thanks!
Cheers,
