arcgis8 as wms client

[Paul Ramsey]

Are you sure you are using the interop extension for this? That URL  
looks like ArcGIS thinks it is talking to an ArcIMS server in native  
mode.  Perhaps you plugged your URL into the wrong place?  Also, read  
carefully what ArcGIS says it wants in the URL parameter, it might  
not be a full capabilities URL, in might just be the onlineresource  
URL.  My impression of the interop extension was that it worked, but  
it was brittle... they did not build a lot of padding in for people  
entering things not exactly as expected by the software.
