[mapserver-users] Re: Print template and WMS

[Ruby]

This would be easier to debug if we could see the app in action...

Thanks for your reply Steve,


I am unsure how I could share the app. I cannot host from my ISP and the
data approaches 5 GB.


I am using mapserver 5.2 on MacOsx 10.4.1 and ms4w 5.2 on WindowsXP ProSP3.
The app is plain vanilla- no python, mapscript, java, or third party
interfaces. Just straight html without frames, even the legend is html on
the map page. The few lines of javascript I use are not app related, just
invoking windows, sizing, calling a local app for gps download and the
button to this one url for print.html. All files are local to the server
except this client WMS layer.


I develop on the Mac and port to the Windows machine, The Windows machine is
not connected to the WAN. I test on both machines. I set up a dummy dns on
the LAN and ms4w on the Windows machine does try to connect when invoked
from the main window but makes not attempt a connection for print.html, the
same behavior observed on the Mac version with a real WAN connection.


The WMS layer loads fine in several different map templates I've built. It
is only when the URL


http:/localhost:8888/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=[map]&mapext=[mapext]&layers=[layers]&map_web=TEMPLATE+pgs/print.html&mapsize=1500+1182


is called that mapserver does not attempt to connect the WMS layer. I
suspect something is missing in the above URL.


Thank you again,

bean
