problems using a cascaded layer - wms_name parameter

[Bart van den Eijnden]

Hi Nuno,

is the remote WMS a Mapserver, or not? Could you post a link to the
GetCapabilities or attach the file if it is not too big?

The / should be used in wms_layer_group if Mapserver acts as a WMS server,
that's right.

I would never advise anybody to use tokens or spaces etc. in wms layer
names. This seems like a WMS server which uses the filepath as the default
WMS layer name?

Best regards,
Bart
