I'm getting this error when I do a getcapabilities to a WMS.  I'm not sure
that I don't have problems with the map file wms settings, but wondered if
anyone can shed some light on it for me.  Is it a bogus message or does it
mean something that my small mind can comprehend?  Is my resource url wrong
in my map file:

Mapfile setting:
    WMS_ONLINERESOURCE "http://localhost/mapserver/mapserv?map=c:
\inetpub\wwwroot\tyler\demo_test.map&"

Does it have to be a internet accessible url?

Here's the error I get (internet exploder).
