[mapserver-users] WCS with elevation data

[Jeff McKenna]

Hi Cora,

I believe QGIS defaults to using VERSION=1.0.0 for WCS.

A nice way to see the exact OGC request sent by QGIS, is to use Fiddler:

  - download and install Fiddler (Google will help you find its current 
download)
  - open it and leave it running
  - in QGIS goto /Settings/Options/Network
  - click on "Use proxy for web access"
  - for Proxy Type select "HttpProxy"
  - for Host enter: 127.0.0.1
  - for Port enter: 8888
  - presss "ok" button
  - now Add a WCS layer in QGIS again, but watch the Fiddler window
  - click on the GetCoverage request in Fiddler
  - to see the full requested url in Fiddler, check the 'Inspector' tab, 
and then select 'Raw'

This is a handy trick especially when debugging MapServer services. 
(beware that QGIS caches the service though, see previous warnings by me 
on this list for that).

Have a nice weekend,

-jeff
