[Qgis-user] Acess to ArcIMS server with QGIS.

[Noli Sicad]

Hi Kerick,

You can probably hack the QGIS Openlayers plugin and incorporate
ArcIMS openlayers script in it.

Please note that the Openlayers scripts for ArcIMS are just adding
layers from ArcIMS server. No edits on it. This also applies to QGIS
Openlayers plugin.
