Identify WMS Layers with ArcGIS

[Bart van den Eijnden]

Hi Eduin,

the known issues with ArcGIS as a WMS client are reported here:

http://support.esri.com/index.cfm?fa=knowledgebase.techArticles.articleShow&d=27825

I don't see your bug in the list, so I would suggest you use the ESRI forum or ESRI support to report this issue.

Best regards,
Bart

Looking with HttpLook, problem seems to be caused by ArcGIS. WMS compliant
servers requieres the "LAYERS" parameter in the request. However, ArcGIS just
includes "QUERY_LAYERS", something like:
http://www.example.com/cgi-bin/mapserv?VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetFeatureInfo&SRS=EPSG:21892&BBOX=869977.952111551,1027721.7482033,1369773.31499998,1393306.32833008&WIDTH=715&HEIGHT=523&QUERY_LAYERS=municipio&STYLES=&EXCEPTIONS=application/vnd.ogc.se_xml&&INFO_FORMAT=text/html&FEATURE_COUNT=50&X=381&Y=289
HTTP/1.1

Adding manually "LAYERS" parameter to this request, causes mpaserver return a
valid html response.

Somebody knows the state of ArcGIS as a compliant WMS server?
