[Mapserver-users] Dusting off the ArcIMS wrapper project

[Armin Burger]

Ed,

it may not be exactly what you're looking for, but there is an ArcXML
Validator at
http://www.territoriumonline.com/downloads/ArcXMLValidator.zip
with that you can send ArcXML statements to an ArcIMS server and get back
the XML sent by the server. The program is running on Windows only. Maybe
it helps for some testing of communication parameters.

quiet.
> I've been looking through the ArcXML docs and things look pretty
doable, but
> I'm not at all familiar with the standard client/server "conversation"

would be

> In addition, if anyone knows good "sniffer" tools to log the
conversation

> pointers.  Thanks.
