[ka-Map-users] Error using WMS client function

[Lorenzo Becchi]

Alessio,
I've tested your mapfile, it's well done.
If you use a different server there are no problems.
try DM Solutions example from Mapserver site:
LAYER
   NAME "prov_bound"
   TYPE RASTER
   STATUS ON
   CONNECTION "http://www2.dmsolutions.ca/cgi-bin/mswms_gmap?"
   CONNECTIONTYPE WMS
   METADATA
     "wms_srs"             "EPSG:42304"
     "wms_name"            "prov_bound"
     "wms_server_version"  "1.1.1"
     "wms_format"          "image/gif"
   END
END

it will work fine.


I've done some tests with debugging mode.

using shp2img from mapserver 4.6.1 I have no problems.
The map is printed as expected.

using shp2imp from mapserver 4.10.1

http://wms.jpl.nasa.gov/wms.cgi?LAYERS=modis&REQUEST=GetMap&SERVICE=WMS&FORMAT=image%2Fjpeg&HEIGHT=300&VERSION=1.1.0&SRS=EPSG:4326&WIDTH=600&BBOX=%2D180%2C%2D90%2C180%2C90&TRANSPARENT=TRUE&EXCEPTIONS=application/vnd.ogc.se_xml

first given error is:
<ServiceExceptionReport version="1.1.0">
   <ServiceException>
     Required key 'styles' is missing
   </ServiceException>
</ServiceExceptionReport>


so I've changed the WMS settings to:
     CONNECTION "http://wms.jpl.nasa.gov/wms.cgi?styles=&"

now shp2img works fine returning the right image but ka-map don't.
a new error is prompted (checking iside IMAGEPATH dir):
<ServiceExceptionReport version="1.1.0">
<ServiceException>
     Bounding box has an invalid area
   </ServiceException>
</ServiceExceptionReport>




how to check the remote call mapscript is doing?


anyway, while bored to test further more, I've done this strange thing:
     CONNECTION 
"http://wms.jpl.nasa.gov/wms.cgi?styles=&bbox=-180,-90,180,90&"

and the result is this:
http://www.ominiverdi.org/ka-map/multi_layer/htdocs/?map=wms

as you can see, just a little projection problem...
:-P

I guess there's something strange but outside is too sunny to stay in 
front of the monitor.
hope somebody else can help too

:-)

ciao
Lorenzo
