problems using a cascaded layer - wms_name parameter

[Bart van den Eijnden]

Hi Nuno,

if you use a WMS layer in Mapserver WMS client, you just use the name (as
present in the WMS capabilities between <Name>...</Name>), not the
nesting, in your case probably:

"wms_name"    "l5mosaic.ecw"

Or are you sayig the actual name of the layer on the remote WMS is
"/landmap/mosaics/landsat/l5mosaic.ecw"?

The / syntax is for Mapserver as a WMS server (wms_layer_group),
indicating how it should build up its WMS capabilities with nesting.

See:

http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=776

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
Bart
