mapserver as WCS client

[Pericles S. Nacionales]

Hi John,

That is correct.  I don't know what the rationale is for not supporting 
it other than the huge bandwidth requirement.  Maybe lack of interest? 
I would imagine most WCS clients have very powerful analytical 
capabilities whereas with MapServer you'll be pulling large amounts of 
data for display on the web.  I also don't know if MapServer can easily 
cascade WCS services like it does with WMS.  I would think though that a 
basic support can be implemented fairly easily via GDAL.

But this isn't my cup of tea.
