[mapguide-users] checking wms connections

[joanne cook]

Hi Andy,
 
Thanks for the quick response. The GetCapabilities request gives me what seems to be a perfectly valid xml file (attached, hopefully). At first I had a lot of trouble with the attached wmsclient.html, but then I realised that on it's way over the email it had been butchered by network antivirus scanners. All the form code had been prefixed defang_html, and the javascript had been commented out. Once I'd resolved that, then I got a valid GetMap request from both the Sheboygan and my own data. Thanks!
 
Now I just have to figure out how to get it working with OpenLayers- which still doesn't seem to work.
 
All the best
 
Jo

What do you get from this? 

http://localhost:8008/mapguide/mapagent/mapagent.fcgi?REQUEST=GetCapabilitie 
s&SERVICE=WMS&FORMAT=text/xml 

Also attached is an email from Thomas Tuerke from July that has handy little 
wms client test page in it.  I hope it comes through on the email list.

Hi All, 

I am trying to make a wms connection to some layers in my MapGuide 
OpenSource 1.0.2 map. I can't connect to my own, and assume there's some 
kind of problem with the conversion from a different coordinate system, as 
seems to have been discussed at length on this list, so I thought I'd better 
try the Sheboygan data first. All I am trying to do is connect to the data 
in Firefox 2, using the following URL: 

http://localhost:8008/mapguide/mapagent/mapagent.fcgi?SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1. 
1.1&REQUEST=GetMap&LAYERS=Samples/Sheboygan/Layers/Buildings&FORMAT=image/pn 
g 

This gives me the following message: 


An unclassified exception occurred. 

An unclassified exception occurred. Exception occurred in method 
MgHttpWmsGetMap.Execute at line 204 in file 
c:\build_tux_area\mgdev_opensource\web\src\httphandler\HttpWmsGetMap.cpp 
  
If I remove any of the parameters I get an xml document back that tells me I 
don't have all the parameters I need. A GetCapabilities request seems to 
validate as far as I can tell... 
The end result of all of this is that I want to be able to use my MapGuide 
Open Source data in OpenLayers, but needless to say that doesn't work at all 
at the moment either! 
  
Many thanks 
  
Jo
