[mapserver-users] ArcIMS Gateway

Attached is some call-and-response data from an actual simple
conversation between Arc8 and an IMS server (query server for services,
query server for service info, query server for image). Arc8 is
extremely sensitive to the form of the returned XML -- get it wrong and
it goes kablooie. The ArcXML guide is actually online (!!) at the ESRI
site.
