Hi All,

I am working on a method to access WMS servers through firewalls and proxy
servers that require authentication.  I need to know if WMS servers just use
TCP port 80 or if they use other ports as well.

The program I am trying to use is called HTTPort (http://www.htthost.com),
it creates HTTP tunnels through proxy servers and firewalls.  So far I have
successfully got it to work for news groups, but I am having trouble with
WMS servers.  I am trying to connect to MapInfo's Global WMS Server
(http://www.mapinfo.com/miwms), but my results have become confusing.  I
keep getting a "Not Found" error message (at least it beats "Access
Denied").

I am looking for any ideas, comments, etc..

Cheers Ian
