[mapguide-users] WMS Error

[Thomas M. Tuerke]

Hello Sacha,

That looks like it should now be handled; WMS was an ongoing effort, even through the beta and RC phases of MGOS.  That message looks like one that's been fixed for a while now.  Still, you can help us to ensure that is the case by providing us with:

  * The version of your MG installation.
  * A sample of the capability document your install provides.
  * The version of GAIA, and if possible the actual GetMap request sent 
    from it. (That should appear in the MG logs.)

Having worked on WMS client and server applications for a few years now, I've found one thing that's become painfully evident: OGC certification only applies to servers, and anybody can write a client and claim it to be WMS compatible.  Because of this, you'll find a numerous instances of "Tolerance and Forgiveness" in our server code, to account for sloppiness in client implementations... in short, not all clients are created equal.

Since you're using GAIA, I should point out that a considerable amount of our testing was carried out using CarbonTools' toolkit as a client, so we know MG plays well with their technology.  We also played with a version of GAIA a while back, which seemed to be not as reliable as one sample app in their toolkit download, though that may not be the case anymore (I notice there's a GAIA 2 posted on their site.)

i tried a WMS connection to MapGuide with GAIA and i get back this error 
from Mapguide:

Is there any documentation about WMS with Mapguide?
