Thanks, I actually looked at the degree demo server and found at least the layers I tested to be empty. :-( And because of the size restriction I can't use it in my case anyway.
And thanks for the other suggestions on this list. None so far solve my problem. I do not have a WMS client with a user interface where people could go through the layers list to chose one. (And then maybe wonder, why this particular layer doesn't work in this case or so.) I only have a config file which needs a WMS URL, layer and SRS at a minimum. Something that ideally will never change. I don't want to hardcode a layer that might not exist anymore tomorrow. Of course I can set this up easily myself, but would prefer to do it somewhere where it benefits other people and the community as a whole can support it.
