[mapserver-users] WFS Client through Proxy and HTTP Authentication

[Daniel Morissette]

The error message says:

"Couldn't resolve host 'reg.bom.gov.au'"

Make sure this hostname does resolve on the machine running MapServer, 
that is has proper DNS config, etc.

You could also try using the actual IP address instead of the hostname 
in the CONNECTION string to confirm that this is indeed the problem.
