[mapserver-users] Using a CRS not indexed by the IOGP

[Luí­s Moreira de Sousa]

Dear Jukka,

thank you for clarifying this, now it makes sense. So far I could not identify instructions in the documentation on how to specify a URL identifier (this seems the most sensible option when the CRS is not indexed by the IOGP). Is it supported by MapServer?

Thank you.

This CRS is defined within a specific PROJ namespace (e.g. init=namespace:001, just like others.extra or esri.extra) and is used correctly both by PROJ and GDAL. However, if I add this namescape to the "wms_srs" parameter in the mapfile, any request will be met with the following error message:
