[mapserver-users] WMS Mapfile implementation

[Simon Mercier]

Joseph,

you add in your CONNECTION tag a capabilitiess request...?? you have to put
this for your connection:
http://imsortho.cr.usgs.gov/wmsconnector/com.esri.wms.Esrimap/USGS_EDC_Ortho_Ohio<goog_1265503917657>

1)If you have to show county separately, you have to add one county in one
layer... But you can also cascading your request in other WMS to group them
in just one layer... (with the GROUP tag)


2)In a WMS layers,  you sould have at least this in your Metadata tag:

wms_srs(you need for your service),
wms_name(WMS name you call),
wms_title(you want show in your service)
wms_server_version(usualy 1.1.1)
wms_format(format support by your WMS provider)

regards
simon mercier
