[Mapserver-users] Mapserver WMS client and proxy server

[Ed McNierney]

As I mentioned, the test needs to be done from the same machine as the MapServer CGI is running on - not from your home system.  I'm skeptical that the firewall can detect what program is generating the network traffic in the WMS request, but it is possible that ALL requests are blocked from that machine.

	Hello Ed 
	
	I have tried to connect to a WMS Mapserver from home and everything works fine. When I type in the WMS request, I get the map and when I build a workaround by dyn layers via transparent image above the mapserver image all works fine. It works fine, because the browsers settings refer to the proxy, but the cgi does not, I think. My sys admin told me, he can recognize, that the mapserver cgi tries a direct connection to the WMS client. This is, out of security reasons, not allowed for us.
