Hi,

I've been trying to set up a WMS server for some UK Ordnance Survey
maps.
The map uses some MapInfo layers that I inherited from elsewhere, all
using the British National Grid projection.

I have set up a WMS server on a machine which responds correctly to the
GetCapabilities request.
It also responds with a map if I use a Url such as=20

http://myIPAddress/cgi-bin/MapServ40.exe?map=3DC:\inetpub\gis\wwwroot\OSM=
a
pServer\OS.map&SERVICE=3DWMS&VERSION=3D1.1.0&LAYERS=3D&FORMAT=3Dimage%2Fp=
ng&TRAN
SPARENT=3DTRUE&STYLES=3D&REQUEST=3DGetMap&WIDTH=3D600&HEIGHT=3D480&BBOX=3D=
304499.570
199,207931.455749,304914.609271,208262.998725&EXCEPTIONS=3Dapplication/vn=
d
.ogc.se_inimage

Note this request does NOT contain an SRS parameter. The map returned is
correct and in the correct BNG projection.

As soon as I add the SRS=3DEPSG:27700 parameter to the URL the cgi
application crashes and the browser returns
"The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete
set of HTTP headers. The headers it did return are:" - none

If I use a WMS client layer to the server in another working map file
the following occurrs:

1. Using SRS EPSG:27700 in the WMS SRS metadata crashes the cgi
application.
2. Using SRS EPSG:4326 in the WMS SRS metadata returns a map with the
requested WMS layers - but in the wrong projection.

Am I doing something wrong here?
or
Is this a bug in the WMS code and is there a work around?

Many thanks

Craig.

p.s I'm using MapServer 4.1 from the windows binaries. Win2K, IIS, Dual
hyperthreaded pentium 4
