[Mapserver-users] crash using srs parameter in getmap request

[Kralidis,Tom [Burlington]]

Comments:

- What do you mean by MapServer crashing?  Are you getting a 500 error?
Are you getting an OGC Service Exception Report XML document?
- What is the *native* projection of the data?  This is what should be
declared in the PROJECTION block foreach layer
- try your "wms_srs" declaration with lowercase (i.e. "init=epsg:28992")
- trying a WMS GetMap request without the SRS keyword is an invalid
request, and should throw an exception
- WMS is not the problem.  A WMS shall support all SRS projections it
advertises in Capabilities
