[Mapserver-users] arc gis wms

[Heiko Kehlenbrink]

hi list,

i try to connect arc gis 8.3 (sp3) to the umn mapserver (3.65 with
wms-server and client support). i use the wms-extension from con
terra(http://www.conterra.de/).

query the capabilities works,
even getting a preview (width=170, height=170)works but trying to get the
full layer into arc gis generated an error ("Raster kann in ArcGIS nicht
angelegt werden.") occured. con terrra documentation says that this error
could mean that a gif was requested and no lzw license is available.

in my case i request an jpeg (as arc gis could not handle png) and the
mapserver is truly generating jpegs...

to be mentioned, the preview is accepted by the wms extension

any hints welcome

best regards
