[mapserver-users] Connecting to MapServer WMS service with NASA World Wind

[Roger André]

Anyone had any luck making this sort of connection?  I have a WMS service
that I can connect to in uDig, but which resists every attempt I make in
World Wind.  I'm beginning to wonder if World Wind sends weird requests to
WMS servers.

This WMS URL works in uDig, "
http://10.10.10.143/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/var/www/mapfiles/precip/precip.map&REQUEST=GetCapabilities&SERVICE=WMS&<http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/var/www/mapfiles/precip/precip.map&REQUEST=GetCapabilities&SERVICE=WMS&>".
It generates requests that look like this in my apache2 logs:

10.10.10.143 - - [05/Nov/2009:09:48:54 -0800] "GET
/cgi-bin/mapserv?SERVICE=WMS&LAYERS=imagery,precip&EXCEPTIONS=application/vnd.ogc.se_xml&FORMAT=image/png&HEIGHT=557&TRANSPARENT=TRUE&MAP=/var/www/mapfiles/precip/precip.map&REQUEST=GetMap&BBOX=-162.95165202579437,-90.0,162.95165202579437,90.0&WIDTH=1010&STYLES=,&SRS=EPSG:4326&VERSION=1.1.1
HTTP/1.1" 200 296814 "-" "uDig 1.1.1 (http://udig.refractions.net)
Java/1.6.0_02"


However, when I put the same URL into the, "Enter wms server URL" window of
the  WMSLayerManager.jnlp<http://worldwind.arc.nasa.gov/java/demos/WMSLayerManager.jnlp>World
Wind application, I get a weird looking request in the log that looks
like this:

10.10.10.143 - - [05/Nov/2009:09:51:37 -0800] "GET
/cgi-bin/mapserv?EXCEPTIONS=application/vnd.ogc.se_xml&REQUEST=GetCapabilities&SERVICE=WMS&
HTTP/1.1" 200 539 "-" "Java/1.6.0_07"

It's like ALL of the map-specific info has been stripped.

Any ideas how to make this work?
