Hi Sudeep,

as you get more into the coding of the WMS parts, I guess you
have seen the specification docs for it:

    http://www.opengeospatial.org/specs/?page=specs
    http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/wms
[hmrf, the spec now seems to live behind some legalese-click-
through. I have an old copy which did not require that, if you
don't like to agree to those things]

see also links at
  http://live.osgeo.org/en/standards/wms_overview.html


the QGIS and GDAL implementations are probably easier examples,
but see also the old scripts/r.in.wms/ in the GRASS source code.
(I would not suggest to use that as a model for your work, the
design is a bit convoluted) Maybe the python version of r.in.wms
in grass7 source code is not as complicated?


best,
Hamish
