[Mapbender-users] Query Parameter for a specific external WMS

Thu Oct 30 11:45:09 EDT 2008

Hello,

is it possible to take a look at your mapbender installation? If it's
not possible please separate the maprequests in Firefox (page info ->
media) and post them to this list.
Maybe they are a little bit enlightening.

regards
Uli
