Hello all,

I am having problems with using the WMS-client support in MapServer 3.6 
(CGI). I try to connect to an external WMS Server via layerdefinition. The 
request to the server simply does nothing until it times out. We are using 
a proxy and firewall between the mapserver and the Internet and this is 
the problem (sys-admin told me). It is not allowed to connect directly 
between cgi-exe and a server outside. Any ideas or solution how to handle 
this problem?

Thanks
Stefan Wiegand
