[mapserver-users] Mapserver as wms client

[Sowmya Tiramdasu]

Hi Jeff, 

Thanks for the reply. I think that should work. But, I am having a problem
running the utility. The error is : The program can not start because
libmap.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to
fix the problem. 

I went and checked in my C:\ms4w\Apache\cgi-bin folder and libmap.dll is
present. I also ran the setenv.bat before running the utility. Can you
please guide me how to get this utility running? 

Thanks in advance!

Sowmya.

A very easy way to see all of the WMS requests, is to use the included
"shp2img" commandline utility with the "-all_debug 5" option
(http://www.mapserver.org/utilities/shp2img.html), MS4W users can call
this utility after executing 'setenv.bat' in the same command window.

For example, the command could be:

   shp2img -m demo_wms.map -o ttt.png -all_debug 5

and the results would be:

   msLoadMap(): 0.003s
   msDrawMap(): rendering using outputformat named jpeg (AGG/JPEG).

I hope that helps.
