GetCapabilites Request

[Bart van den Eijnden]

Hi Leopold,

the mime type of a GetCapabilities request is application/vnd.ogc.wms_xml for WMS 1.1.X, so that the file is downloaded by IE is correct since it does not know this mime type by default.

Are you trying to access your localhost WMS server by wmsviewer.com???? I assume the WMS Viewer needs a public WMS service (since it uses ASP as a technlogy), it can't read from your localhost ofcourse! This could only work if the handling by wmsviewer.com would be done completely in javascript in the browser which I don't think it does.

Best regards,
Bart

hi list,
I ve installed a ms4w (incl. umn server and Maplab)

The GetMap Request works fine:
http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?MAP=/ms4w/apps\maplab-2.2\tutorial/cent 
rope2.map&SERVICE=wms&VERSION=1.1.1&LAYERS=bathymetry,land_fn&REQUEST=GetMap

At the GetCapabilities Request I get a file (I think xml) as attachement.
(see attachement)
http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?MAP=/ms4w/apps/gmap/htdocs/gmap75_wms.m 
ap&SERVICE=wms&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetCapabilities

but in viewers (e.g. http://www.wmsviewer.com it won t work.

Maby someone has an idea what s wrong!?
