[GRASS-user] problem with r.in.wms

[Agustin Diez Castillo]

This issue have been discussed on the dev-list without solution as far
as I can say.
see an example:
**************************************
> same command I got a somewhat different error

# skipped region setting
r.in.wms output=terraserver-drg
mapserver=http://terraserver.microsoft.com/ogcmap6.ashx 
layers=DRG  format=tiff

same here, downloaded TIFF contains junk:  (903K binary file)

$ tiffinfo wms_download/terraserver-drg__0.tiff 
TIFFReadDirectory: wms_download/terraserver-drg__0.tiff: Can not read
TIFF directory 
count.

$ gdalinfo wms_download/terraserver-drg__0.tiff

So the problem is not new. I'm wondering if somebody can use r.in.wms
in consistent basis. I've only been able to reproduce some of the
manual entries, when trying with other wms servers working in,for
instance, Qqis I got different errors, see above.

> I cannot get r.in.wms into getting me a wms layer imported. The
projection settings match, the layer is avaible for the region. Am I
doing something wrong?
