[Mapserver-users] ArcExplorer 4.0.1 as a MapServer WMS client

Eduardo,
I've been evaluating serveral WMS clients over the past few weeks. Here
are a couple of useful tips:
1. In ArcExplorer, display debugging messages by clicking on the Help ->
ArcExplorer Message Console, then in the dialog, View -> Message Level ->
All
2. Do a GetCapabilities from your browser. The browser (at least IE6 does)
will parse the xml and report if there are any problems.
I did some editing of your xml/gml trying to get ArcExplorer to recognize
it. The message window kept reporting the version as none, even though the
version number seemed ok to me. So I tried tip 2 above and IE pointed to
several parsing errors. Apparently ArcExplorer (and IE) will not allow
non-ASCII characters anywhere in the document.
When I changed Rincão to Rincao and Talhões to Talhoes, ArcExplorer worked
with it.

Subject: [Mapserver-users] ArcExplorer 4.0.1 as a MapServer WMS client
has anyone had 'played' with ArcExplorer 4 as a WMS Client tool?
i've configured a mapfile to setup a WMS MapServer application, but when I
try to connect with ArcExplorer
with the URL http://localhost/msc/ogc_wms_msc.php I only got the message:
"Invalid Capabilities File. Check Server URL.
what could be wrong?
here's my PHP source:
<?header("Content-type:application/vnd.ogc.gml");?>
