Mapserver as a WMS client behind a prox y (MS4W)

[Eijnden, B. van den (Bart)]

Mapserver WMS client uses curl, and curl listens to the http_proxy
environment variable.

You need to set your http_proxy variable using SetEnv in the httpd.conf and
restart Apache.

SetEnv "http_proxy" "http://myproxy.com"

Bart

proxy (MS4W)


Hello,

I would like to run my Mapserver as WMS client but I guess I am having
problems in getting through our proxy server. I am using MS4W installation
(1.5.0) on a desktop inside our intranet and so far I have done the
following:

I have commented out these lines from Apache httpd.conf

LoadModule proxy_module modules/mod_proxy.so
LoadModule proxy_connect_module modules/mod_proxy_connect.so
LoadModule proxy_http_module modules/mod_proxy_http.so
LoadModule proxy_ftp_module modules/mod_proxy_ftp.so


Then I have added this directive to 'Main' server configuration section of
the httpd.conf:

ProxyRemote * http://proxy.xxx.xx:800

However, I still cannot connect to external WMS services. MapLab application
gives this error message DrawMap: MapServer WMS Error: WMS GetMap request
failed for layer 'ORTO' (Status -7: Failed connect to wms.xxx.xx:80; No
error)

Does anybody have suggestion about what to try next? Proxy address is
correct, I can reach the external WMS service for example through browser,
and mapfile has been tested to be valid in a no-proxy environment.
