[MAPSERVER-USERS] SLD ignored / External Graphic ignored

[Sicky]

I'll start off with some background of what I'm trying to do:
I want to define SVGs as external graphic in an SLD to use these as
PointSymbolizers and LineSymbolizers. Firstly I tried GeoServer and it
worked quite fine, the only problem was, that it wasn't rendered very good.
So I thought of trying MapServer, but then the problems came...

I'm running the latest ms4w on Windows 2000 with Apache 2.2.8.

Here's link to my mapfile: http://sicky.i-networx.de/temp/mapserv/test.map

That's the SLD file I let create with the GetStyles request and just changed
a color and width to see if it was recognized:
http://sicky.i-networx.de/temp/mapserv/test.sld
GetStyles document here:
http://sicky.i-networx.de/temp/mapserv/GetStyles.txt

The important part of the GetCapabilities request is:
<UserDefinedSymbolization SupportSLD="1" UserLayer="0" UserStyle="1"
RemoteWFS="0"/>
(the whole one is located here:
http://sicky.i-networx.de/temp/mapserv/GetCapabilities.txt)

Since GetStyles is working fine and the wms server supports SLD I don't see
a problem there (I searched the net for hours and hours to solve the problem
and tried any suggestion..). But when I request a map with an SLD like this:
http://localhost:8080/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=/program%20files/ms4w/apps/blp/test.map&REQUEST=getMap&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&SRS=EPSG:4326&BBOX=3954683.0884047896,5499947.559657593,3954754.5911026173,5499966.522156349&WIDTH=600&HEIGHT=700&LAYERS=Baugrenze,AllgWohngebiete&STYLES=&SLD=http://localhost:8080/test.sld&FORMAT=image/png

it just ignores the sld and shows this:
http://sicky.i-networx.de/temp/mapserv/sld.png 

http://localhost:8080/test.sld itself is viewable in the browser without any
problems and the names of the layers are mathcing those in the mapfile....
(note: in my mapfile i commented out the style for one layer to see if a
style in a mapfile overrides a sld)

I played around with this a bit, e.g. naming it 'test.xml', removing
'STYLES=' and so on... but nothing helped :(

The I thought of the other method to use SLDs, with SLD_BODY. My request is
as follows:
http://localhost:8080/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=/program%20files/ms4w/apps/blp/test.map&REQUEST=getMap&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&SRS=EPSG:4326&BBOX=3954683.0884047896,5499947.559657593,3954754.5911026173,5499966.522156349&LAYERS=Baugrenze,AllgWohngebiete&SLD_BODY=%3C%3Fxml+version%3D%221.0%22+encoding%3D%22UTF-8%22%3F%3E%3CStyledLayerDescriptor+version%3D%221.1.0%22%3E%3CNamedLayer%3E%3CName%3EBaugrenze%3C%2FName%3E%3CUserStyle%3E%3CFeatureTypeStyle%3E%3CRule%3E%3CName%3EBaugrenze%3C%2FName%3E%3CLineSymbolizer%3E%3CStroke%3E%3CCssParameter+name%3D%22stroke%22%3E%23000000%3C%2FCssParameter%3E%3CCssParameter+name%3D%22stroke-opacity%22%3E1.00%3C%2FCssParameter%3E%3CCssParameter+name%3D%22stroke-width%22%3E5%3C%2FCssParameter%3E%3C%2FStroke%3E%3C%2FLineSymbolizer%3E%3C%2FRule%3E%3C%2FFeatureTypeStyle%3E%3C%2FUserStyle%3E%3C%2FNamedLayer%3E%3CNamedLayer%3E%3CName%3EAllgWohngebiete%3C%2FName%3E%3CUserStyle%3E%3CFeatureTypeStyle%3E%3CRule%3E%3CName%3EAllgWohngebiete%3C%2FName%3E%3CLineSymbolizer%3E%3CStroke%3E%3CCssParameter+name%3D%22stroke%22%3E%23ff00ff%3C%2FCssParameter%3E%3CCssParameter+name%3D%22stroke-opacity%22%3E1.00%3C%2FCssParameter%3E%3CCssParameter+name%3D%22stroke-width%22%3E5%3C%2FCssParameter%3E%3C%2FStroke%3E%3C%2FLineSymbolizer%3E%3C%2FRule%3E%3C%2FFeatureTypeStyle%3E%3C%2FUserStyle%3E%3C%2FNamedLayer%3E%3C%2FStyledLayerDescriptor%3E&WIDTH=600&HEIGHT=700&FORMAT=image/png

the sld_body part in plain text looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<StyledLayerDescriptor version="1.1.0">
<NamedLayer>
<Name>Baugrenze</Name>
<UserStyle><FeatureTypeStyle>
<Rule><Name>Baugrenze</Name>
<LineSymbolizer>
<Stroke>
<CssParameter name="stroke">#000000</CssParameter>
<CssParameter name="stroke-opacity">1.00</CssParameter>
<CssParameter name="stroke-width">5</CssParameter>
</Stroke>
</LineSymbolizer>
</Rule>
</FeatureTypeStyle>
</UserStyle>
</NamedLayer>
<NamedLayer>
<Name>AllgWohngebiete</Name>
<UserStyle>
<FeatureTypeStyle>
<Rule>
<Name>AllgWohngebiete</Name>
<LineSymbolizer>
<Stroke>
<CssParameter name="stroke">#ff00ff</CssParameter>
<CssParameter name="stroke-opacity">1.00</CssParameter>
<CssParameter name="stroke-width">5</CssParameter>
</Stroke>
</LineSymbolizer>
</Rule>
</FeatureTypeStyle>
</UserStyle>
</NamedLayer>
</StyledLayerDescriptor>

the result made me happy:
http://sicky.i-networx.de/temp/mapserv/sld_body.png 

at least now i know that my mapserver definately works with SLDs. but this
wouldn't be a solution since I really need to define a SLD file because it's
gonna be very big. So i really want 'SLD=' to work instead of 'SLD_BODY'.

But 'SLD_BODY' doesn't work fine either :(
when I try to use an external graphic like in this request:
http://localhost:8080/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=/program%20files/ms4w/apps/blp/test.map&REQUEST=getMap&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&SRS=EPSG:4326&BBOX=3954683.0884047896,5499947.559657593,3954754.5911026173,5499966.522156349&LAYERS=Baugrenze,AllgWohngebiete&SLD_BODY=%3C%3Fxml+version%3D%221.0%22+encoding%3D%22UTF-8%22%3F%3E%3CStyledLayerDescriptor+version%3D%221.1.0%22%3E%3CNamedLayer%3E%3CName%3EBaugrenze%3C%2FName%3E%3CUserStyle%3E%3CFeatureTypeStyle%3E%3CRule%3E%3CName%3EBaugrenze%3C%2FName%3E%3CLineSymbolizer%3E%3CStroke%3E%3CGraphicStroke%3E%3CGraphic%3E%3CExternalGraphic%3E%3COnlineResource+xlink%3Ahref%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A8080%2FRsBaugrenze.svg%22%2F%3E%3CFormat%3Eimage%2Fsvg%2Bxml%3C%2FFormat%3E%3C%2FExternalGraphic%3E%3CSize%3E%3Cogc%3ALiteral%3E20%3C%2Fogc%3ALiteral%3E%3C%2FSize%3E%3C%2FGraphic%3E%3C%2FGraphicStroke%3E%3C%2FStroke%3E%3C%2FLineSymbolizer%3E%3C%2FRule%3E%3C%2FFeatureTypeStyle%3E%3C%2FUserStyle%3E%3C%2FNamedLayer%3E%3CNamedLayer%3E%3CName%3EAllgWohngebiete%3C%2FName%3E%3CUserStyle%3E%3CFeatureTypeStyle%3E%3CRule%3E%3CName%3EAllgWohngebiete%3C%2FName%3E%3CLineSymbolizer%3E%3CStroke%3E%3CCssParameter+name%3D%22stroke%22%3E%23ff00ff%3C%2FCssParameter%3E%3CCssParameter+name%3D%22stroke-opacity%22%3E1.00%3C%2FCssParameter%3E%3CCssParameter+name%3D%22stroke-width%22%3E5%3C%2FCssParameter%3E%3C%2FStroke%3E%3C%2FLineSymbolizer%3E%3C%2FRule%3E%3C%2FFeatureTypeStyle%3E%3C%2FUserStyle%3E%3C%2FNamedLayer%3E%3C%2FStyledLayerDescriptor%3E&WIDTH=600&HEIGHT=700&FORMAT=image/png

in plain text the sld_body part looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<StyledLayerDescriptor version="1.1.0">

</StyledLayerDescriptor>

http://localhost:8080/RsBaugrenze.svg of course works fine, is available and
geoserver had no problem using it as well.

but the result is this:
http://sicky.i-networx.de/temp/mapserv/sld_body_ext.png 
So it styles one layer with CSS parameteres but not the other one with an
external graphic.

To conclude:
1st problem: If I give the request an 'SLD=' it just gets ignored. Why? How
can I fix this?
2nd problem: Why gets the external graphic in the SLD gets ignored?

I'm pretty new to MapServer/GIS in general and hope I made myself clear and
haven't forgotten anything important. If so, please say so and I give you
the info which might help me solve this problem.
And I hope the german words inside some of the documents don't confuse you.

I would be really really happy if somebody could help me. And I would be
grateful if this happens fast, since I need to solve this problem fastly
because I need it to be solved to get on with my bachelor thesis.

Thanks in Advance,
Christian.
