[mapserver-users] wms with Elevation Parameter

[Waberzeck, Thomas]

Hi,
at first, I know that mapserver doesn't support wms with Elevation parameters. But maybe some could give me some Hints.
What I'm going to do is set up a wms which should deliver maps for a given Depth.
So I wrote a script which generates an referenced jpg of the demanded Dimensions (x/y and Depth) and modifies the Datasource of my Rasterlayer. Then Mapserver works as an normal wms.
So by now, I'm able to call my wms like this:
http://localhost/geotis_wms.php?SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetMap&SRS=epsg:31467&bbox=3704120,5915103,3737294,5944356&layers=Horizontalschnitt_farbige_Isolininen&format=image/png&width=600&height=600&elevation=2500styles

The Layerdefinition from the getCababilities is like:
<Layer queryable="0" opaque="0" cascaded="0">
<Name>Horizontalschnitt_farbige_Isolininen</Name>
<Title>Horizontalschnitt_farbige_Isolininen</Title>
<Abstract>
Darstellung der Temperatur einer gebenen Tiefe durch farbige Isolininen
</Abstract>
<SRS>epsg:4326</SRS>
<SRS>epsg:31467</SRS>
<LatLonBoundingBox minx="5.35586" miny="47.0265" maxx="15.6606" maxy="55.0755"/>
<BoundingBox SRS="EPSG:31467" minx="3.267e+006" miny="5.225e+006" maxx="3.927e+006" maxy="6.105e+006"/>
<Dimension name="Elevation" units="meter"/>
<Extent name="Elevation" unitSymbol="m">0/5000/100</Extent>
</Layer>

My Questions are:
1.      Is my Layerdefinition ok?
2.      If yes, which clients support wms in this way? I tried to use QuantumGIS and ArcMap10 without any success - but maybe my Layerdefintion is wrong.
