Dear friends, I'm playing with the WMS format from GDAL (svn version, 18323). Please note it's my first try with WMS, so it is possible i'm missing something important.
I discovered some inconsistencies about documentation and actual parameters for the xml config file. In the official documentation http://www.gdal.org/frmt_wms.html , the layer is selected with the <Layers> tag. _ the TileService mini-driver requires <Dataset> (undocumented) _ the WorldWind mini-driver requires <Layer> (without the 's', undocumented). The affected files are: ./frmts/wms/minidriver_worldwind.cpp ./frmts/wms/minidriver_tileservice.cpp Also, after some try&error (mainly caused by the fact that the right SizeX and SizeY are not derivable from GetCapabilities) I came up with some working xml config files for accessing interesting WMS (e.g. US topo from terraservice, PCN for Italy, BlueMarbleNG worldwind). I think someone else did the same effort in the past and someone else will do it in the future. In order to avoid other people to waste their time, I think we could create a repository of tested config file, maybe in the same http://www.gdal.org/frmt_wms.html page. What do you think? I'd like to share my files. Thank you for your attention, michele _______________________________________________ gdal-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/gdal-dev
