I'm implementing a WMS proxy server using PHP mapscript. I'm fetching the capabilities programmatically and storing them in a database and then building a mapfile on the fly. The mapfile contains multiple "connectiontype WMS" layers, and I'd like to be able to (a) determine when one of the WMS client requests has failed, and (b) get the error message returned for each failed layer. I'm starting to think this may not be possible currently, and it seems that the code for doing anything like this has been pushed back for a while [ http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/1246 ].

Any chance that I'm wrong and there is already a way to do this? Anybody else interested in this feature? Anybody already done something like this?

I guess the alternatives are to either try to implement this myself in mapserver, or perhaps drop mapserver altogether for my proxy application and just do my own WMS requests and image compositing because I guess that is all that I am using mapserver for right now.

Thanks,
Chris
