[mapserver-users] Can Map Server serve non WMS services?

[Sowmya Tiramdasu]

Hi Steve, 

 Even I am new to the company. So do not have much details. But I think ,
The GetProfileView operation returns a profile view of LIDAR data. Upon
receiving a GetProfileView request, a WMS shall either satisfy the request
or issue a service exception.

The WMS Server we have deals with LIDAR DATA (LAS Files). So when we draw a
line on the display lidar data and send a request for the getProfileView, we
get an image back as response if everything happened good. Else we get a
service exception. 

The key value pairs ( parameters) passed along with getProfileView operation
are mentioned in the URL I specified in my previous email. I hope this
information  may give you some additional understanding. 

Do you think I can use mapscript to make calls to any service ( NOT WMS) and
render the response image as a layer along with other shape file data
layers?

Thanks a lot for trying to help me. I am extremely sorry for giving you
limited info, I myself do not know much about all this . Sorry!

Thanks, 
Sowmya.

Hi Sowmya,

Since you are making a non-standard WMS request GetProfileView, i doubt 
that anyone here knows what that does, and as such, is probably not 
going to be able to help you. You need to provide a detailed description 
of what GetProfileView does, like what are the inputs, what is the 
expect output, and how is it generated.

That said, someone programmed that up on your side and it is likely that 
they would have to program support for that using mapserver as a tools 
set and maybe using something like mapscript. In general, mapserver is a 
map rendering and querying engine that has some additional 
geo-processing tools and access to most core features for programming 
using mapscript.

Hope this helps,
   Steve W
