The first URL is just the location of the agent that can respond to WMS requests. If you don't specify any parameters (or if you specify the wrong parameters) you won't get a usable response. The format for WMS requests is documented thoroughly in the specifications created by the Open Geospatial Consortium.
WMS services are intended to be accessed in this manner - I'm not sure what you mean or what you are trying to do when you say "there is any possibitiy that i can do this programmatically ?"
Can you provide any more detail about what you are actually trying to do? Obtain a list of layers available via WMS? Render a map via WMS? Etc.
Chris.

HI Chris Claydon
I am Using MapGuide 2.01 , .net environment , and maestro r3911 , i
did all the set up as you said in your earlier post, when i use url 1:
http://localhost/mapguide/mapagent/mapagent.fcgi
i shows nothing in browser ..... and when use url ( Sheboygon map and bounds
as you said)
2:http://localhost/mapguide/mapagent/mapagent.fcgi?REQUEST=GetCapabilities&SERVICE=WMS&FORMAT=text/xml
i get layer information .
can you please tell me whether it is correct behaviour with url 1
and
there is any possibitiy that i can do this programmatically ?
if yes where should code such a thing ( i might be stupid , please pardon me
)
Thanks & Reagrds ,
satish
