[OpenLayers-Dev] OL not suitable for raster layers?

[Stefanie Weykam]

Thanks for your quick response, Bart.
I am not sure if I understand your questions right. The WMS product we 
are using is version 1.1.1 (generated by MapServer).
Both layers are served under the following URL:
http://idebos.bio.uniovi.es/cgi-bin/wmsSATELITE
As for you question nº1 - if you refer to the display - yes, the results 
are different (testing with DEMIS world map and our layers). If you 
refer to the request string - I haven't payed much attention to the 
strings but anyway, here are the strings from gvSIG:
'http://www2.demis.nl/WMS/wms.ashx?wms=WorldMap&REQUEST=GetMap&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&LAYERS=Topography,Hillshading,Streams&SRS=EPSG:4326&BBOX=-3.4635145165362284,42.44287137086593,-0.46351451653622844,45.04875372380711&WIDTH=511&HEIGHT=445&FORMAT=image/jpeg&STYLES=,,' 

'http://156.35.53.53/cgi-bin/wmsSATELITE?REQUEST=GetMap&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&LAYERS=clorofila&SRS=EPSG:4326&BBOX=-3.4635145165362284,42.44287137086593,-0.46351451653622844,45.04875372380711&WIDTH=511&HEIGHT=445&FORMAT=image/gif&STYLES=default&TRANSPARENT=TRUE'
You may also wish to see the complete geoportal web page:
http://idebos.bio.uniovi.es/GeoPortal/
Here, tiling of the raster layers is currently default (singleTile false).
Viewing the test code I send a couple of weeks ago you can see both, 
tiled and untiled.
The place tested with gvSIG is actually further east but provided us 
with pixels more suitable to query and compare.

Let me know if you need more details.
Stefanie
