[Mapserver-users] WMS Connection problems in MS 4.0

[Norbert Schauerte-Lueke]

Hi List, 
Using WMS an error occurs so I need some advice.

I want to connect to an WMS Server offered by an institution in 
Germany (LDS). This system is based on the Webservices of 
AED Graphics (an OGC Member). If I try to connect directly by 
the URL with the request GetCapabilities or GetMap everythink 
works fine. 


e.g.: 
http://www.geoserver.nrw.de/GeoOgcWms1.3/servlet/GEPNRW
?VERSION=1.1.0&SERVICE=wms&REQUEST=GetMap&LA
YERS=GEPNRW:Gewerbe&STYLES=,,&SRS=EPSG:31466&
BBOX=2531220,5704038,2541515,5715184&WIDTH=700&H
EIGHT=500&FORMAT=image/png&TRANSPARENT=true&
EXCEPTIONS=application/vnd.ogc.se_inimage


If I use MapServer 3.6 it works, too. But when I use MapServer 
4.0 only an error (No. 500) is returned. I use the Mapserver 4.0 
and the Mapserver 3.6 connection terms. A Sniplet of the 
mapfile will follow. 

If anybody can give a hint, I will be very thankfull.

Norbert

P.S: 
I used the great debug option of MS  for checking the URL. The 
"msHTTPExecuteRequest" that will be given back as error message can be used als 
URL. The URL works. What happends?? 


Here the mapfile sniplet:
