[OpenLayers-Dev] Integrating Google Maps and Mapserver

[Bradley Mclain]

Ok after some mucking around i managed to get the request to return a file
save message, however it returns this even when i use getmap not just
getcapabilities. Any idea why it is doing this?

The message is something like you have chosen to open mapserv which is an:
application/vnd.ogc.se_xml

my request was
http://192.168.1.130/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/usr/local/mapfiles/dbw.map&service=wms&version=1.1.1&request=getmap&layers=dbap

Also i am having trouble getting the wrapper to work but this is not my
priority yet.
