Hi Rahkonen I did add &service=WMS to the request. See below. The thing is that the XML returned contains these weird ns0:, ns1: (which I’m reading now pertains to namespaces)
When I ran the same request against http://wms.dbsgeo.com/ the XML returned is devoid of these pesky ns0: additions. I think this is what stops the WMS client from properly parsing the XML file returned from my server for the capabilities. I still think it all has to do with the way my server responds to this request. How can I suppress that? Thanks.

When I run the same url nice map runs, I do get an XML output (http://greenstreamsa.com/wms?request=GetCapabilities <http://greenstreamsa.com/wms?request=GetCapabilities&service=WMS> &service=WMS). See an excerpt below. <ns0:WMS_Capabilities version="1.3.0" ns1:schemaLocation="http://www.opengis.net/wms http://schemas.opengis.net/wms/1.3.0/capabilities_1_3_0.xsd";> − <ns0:Service> <ns0:Name>WMS</ns0:Name> <Title>Oilwatch Mapping Server</Title> When I run the same getCapabilities against a WMS server example Dane kindly pointed to me, I get this output <WMS_Capabilities version="1.3.0" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.opengis.net/wms http://schemas.opengis.net/wms/1.3.0/capabilities_1_3_0.xsd";> − <Service> <Name>WMS</Name> <Title>MapnikOGC</Title> <Abstract>The Mapnik OGC Server Sample Configuration</Abstract> Straightaway, I noticed that my xml output contains “ns0:” which I honestly have no clue what it is… (I’m very green when it comes to xml) This leads me to think it must be some settings issue with my server. Any ideas how this can be fixed? Many thanks… Jome.
