[mapserver-users] MapServer as WMS

[David Hildebrand]

I am trying to configure MapServer as a WMS service and would like some
clarity on projection information.  I have several layers in differing
projections but would like the final output to be in Transverse
Mercator.  For each layer I have defined the "wms_srs" and "wms_extent"
tags.  In the top-level map file do I now define the "wms_srs" tag as a
list of projections which are defined in the layers or is there a
wildcard specification I can use?  Furthermore, I want to be able to
specify the bounding box in lat/lon rather than Transverse Mercator
coordinates, the desired output projection.  I suppose I need to have a
CGI script call a projection utility to return the bounding box
coordinates projected to Transverse Mercator and then pass those to
mapserv.  On a related note, how do I set the output WIDTH and HEIGHT to
be proportional to the BBOX?

 

Thanks.
