WMS GetCapabilities problem

[Kralidis,Tom [Burlington]]

This is because the MIME type returned by an OGC:WMS 1.1.1
GetCapabilities request is not recognized by standard web browsers
unless you configure it to do so.

Try saving the file and opening with something like Wordpad.

Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] WMS GetCapabilities problem


Hi all,

I'm using the ms4w application you all know. I worked myself through the
tutorial, and now i want to set up my own WMS Server. Therefor i used
example 1.7. But when i want to test my WMS Server and perform a
GetCapabilities request, Firefox is offering me the mapserv.exe file, in
stead of an XML document. What am i doing wrong? 

This is my hyperlink with the request:
http://192.168.2.3/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=c:/ms4w/apache/htdocs/mapserv
ertutorial/example1-7.map&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION1.1.1&REQUEST=G
etCapabilities 

This is my MAP file:
