[mapserver-users] WMS Client

[Brian Fischer]

Paul,

The documentation is not real clear, but according to the WMS Client
HowTo document you need some required parameters in the WMS Connection
String.  It looks like you are missing REQUEST, SRS, BBox, and
Transparent.  I don't know if these are musts, but the WMS connection
string below worked for me with DMSolutions WMS Server.

CONNECTION
http://www2.dmsolutions.ca/cgi-bin/mswms_gmap?VERSION=1.1.0&REQUEST=getM
AP&LAYERS=bathymetry,prov_bound,drain_fn&SRS=EPSG:42304&BBox=-2200000,-7
12631,3072800,3840000&Transparent=false&FORMAT=image/gif

Hope this helps,
Brian

Any idea why the following request is not working? I can see the request
being made in the logs of the WMS server referenced here, and if I type
that request into a browser window, I can actually see the WMS image is
getting correctly generated, but the final output from mapserver never
contains the WMS client data.
