hi to all,   
yes ..but i get the correct xml document back . .
but still the errors occur.After a few readings, (my
english not so good ) i guess that i dont need to
establish from that server. My goal is to make the
projection from shapefiles to mapfiles.

  So far i duplicated my kiryuuBase
directory(contains shapefiles) to directory
maplab2.20-release..from that how i can open any layer
using maplab? lost..
 
  Thank you in advance.
