Hi Rainer, Yes, the new GDAL format (as also mentioned by others) is documented here: http://www.gdal.org/frmt_wms.html My suggestion, as quoted below, did not include replacing a _mapserver_ (WMS source)- rather support for WMS would allow r.in.gdal to replace r.in.wms... or perhaps re-write r.in.wms as a wrapper to r.in.gdal by first creating the XML config file. See http://www.gdal.org/frmt_wms.html for details.
