there is no information, because there is no image sent back.

This works fine:
http://demo.intevation.de/cgi/frida-wms?
REQUEST=GetMap&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&LAYERS=gewaesser&SRS=EPSG:31467&hei
ght=100&width=100

I tried img2shp but the result is:
msDrawMap(): Image handling error. Unable to initialize image. <br>
msPrepareImage(): General error message. Image dimensions not specified.
<br>

no proxy needed.

I think the error may be in the mapfile.
Is it right to say that the webservice itself sends the extent of the image
(because in my mapfile there is no definition)?

Hmm, I've no idea whats going wrong.
