WMS map download

[Eijnden, Bart van den (AGI)]

Hi,

you can use a simple PHP script which will present a save as dialog to the user.

For an example check out download.php in Chameleon (chameleon.maptools.org).

Best regards,
Bart

I really appreciate your help but I am still a little unclear on exactly what to
do.  I understand the mapscript for a WCS request, but I am still unsure how to
download the data once it is returned from the server.   You gave an example of
a WCS GetCoverage Request as:

$mapurl .=
"request=GetCoverage&coverage=[layer_name]&crs=epsg:28992&resx=25&resy=25&format=image/tiff"

So I am assuming that there is some php call that can be used to capture the
returned image but I am not sure how to do this.  Sorry to ask so many
questions but there is just no good documentation out there for WCS.
