[Mapserver-dev] Question about basic authentication in a WMS connection

[Bart van den Eijnden]

Hi Sean,

I use a Windows binary from 02-02-2004 and there it still works.

Is this syntax working for you in e.g. Mozilla Firefox when you do a 
GetCapabilities request on the remote WMS?

Best regards,
Bart
