ArcIMS Emulator and ArcGIS 9sp2

[Ed McNierney]

Berend -

Yes, this is a significant change in SP2, and will require some
noticeable rework - the "WKT" description of the projections is, of
course, the ESRI-flavored variant.  For example, your DATUM string
begins with "D_", which isn't what the emulator expects.  I've asked
about this before and didn't hear any response about it.

Of course, SP2 breaks ArcIMS emulators, but it also adds WMS support
into the core product; see
http://downloads.esri.com/support/downloads/ao_/ArcGIS-90sp2-WMS-spt.pdf
for the instructions.  As a result, I'm inclined to abandon further
ArcIMS emulation support and tell ESRI users to use WMS!

Is anyone using the ArcIMS Emulator from Refractions with ArcGIS 9,
service pack 2? It works without problems in 9, but after installing
sp2, no images are created.
It seems Esri has a different way of specifying the coordinate system,
it used to be simply <FEATURECOORDSYS id="28992"/>, but now it's

<FEATURECOORDSYS string="PROJCS["RD_New",
GEOGCS["GCS_Amersfoort",
DATUM["D_Amersfoort", SPHEROID["Bessel_1841",
6377397.155,299.1528128]], PRIMEM["Greenwich",0.0],
UNIT["Degree" ,0.0174532925199433]],
PROJECTION["Double_Stereographic"],
PARAMETER["False_Easting", 155000.0],
PARAMETER["False_Northing", 463000.0],
PARAMETER["Central_Meridian", 5.38763888888889],
PARAMETER["Scale_Factor", 0.9999079],
PARAMETER["Latitude_Of_Origin", 52.15616055555555],
UNIT["Meter", 1.0]]"></FEATURECOORDSYS>

In the php logfile I find:
Projecting Envelope from  to init=epsg:28992

Thanks, Berend
