[mapserver-users] Mapscript and wms client

[Chris Jackson]

Hi Brent and Armin

The GetCapapabilies bit threw me!  Well the one I am trying to load is GEBCO
which I think is up.  Having said that I have just changed the wms_name and
reloaded the map and it works (maybe it just needed some sleep)..!

Out of interest how do you specify a given layer from the WMS in the mapfile
code and is the wms_name just a friendly name you use or specific to the WMS
too?

Separately Google maps layers, mapfiles and GDAL, from what I read loading
tiles this way this breaks Google's T&C because it bypasses their APIs,
anyone have a view....?

My GEBCO code is:

LAYER # GEBCO WMS map
    NAME         'gebco'
    TYPE         RASTER
    OFFSITE      0 0 0
    STATUS       On
    CONNECTIONTYPE WMS
    CONNECTION "
http://www.gebco.net/data_and_products/gebco_web_services/web_map_service/mapserv
?"

    METADATA
      "wms_srs" "EPSG:4326"
      "wms_name" "gebco_08_grid"
      "wms_server_version" "1.1.1"
      "wms_format" "image/jpeg"
    END

    PROJECTION
      "init=epsg:4326"
    END
  END


Cheers
Chris
