[mapserver-users] Problems with the WMS Client VERSION 1.3.0

[Iris Rittinger (Terraplan)]

Hi,

I am trying to include a WMS Layer with the WMS Version 1.3.0 in my 
MapFile.  I have included serveral WMS Layers, but so far only VERSION 
1.1.1 or lower.  The syntax I used before does not seem to work here.  I 
keep on getting the error message:

msBuildWMSLayerURL(): WMS connection error. MapServer supports only WMS 
1.0.0 to 1.1.1 (please verify the VERSION parameter in the connection 
string)

My Mapserver Version is MapServer version 5.7-dev from FWTools2.4.7.

My Mapfile includes the following Layer:

LAYER
   NAME "Deutschland"
   TYPE RASTER
   STATUS DEFAULT
   CONNECTIONTYPE WMS
   CONNECTION "http://gdz.bkg.bund.de/wms_dtk2500"
    METADATA
     "wms_srs"             "epsg:4326"
     "wms_name"            "0"
     "wms_title"           "DTK2500"
     "wms_server_version"  "1.3.0"
     "wms_format"          "image/png"
     "wms_onlineresource"  "http://gdz.bkg.bund.de/wms_dtk2500"
   END
END

When I include the CONNECTION in my MapFile, then I get the described 
error.  When I ommit the CONNECTION String and use the 
wms_onlineresource which seems to be the newer syntax, then I do not get 
the error message, but I can also not see the map.  When I use 
wms_server_version 1.1.0, then I do see the map, but on a wrong 
position.  From what I read that might have something to do with the 
change of the axis between 1.1.0 and 1.3.0.

Did the Syntax for the mapfile change between the Version 1.1.0 and 
1.3.0 and I did not see it in the documentation or am I missing 
something else?  Does the wms_srs still work, since in the url I need 
the CRS for the projection. Any ideas?

The following REQUEST works in my browser, so the wms Server is running:

http://gdz.bkg.bund.de/wms_dtk2500?SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.3.0&REQUEST=GetMap&BBOX=-90,-180,90,180&CRS=EPSG:4326&WIDTH=953&HEIGHT=480&LAYERS=0&STYLES=&FORMAT=image/png&DPI=96&TRANSPARENT=true

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Iris Rittinger
