Beautiful, yes. After a bit of fudging and adjusting (because I don't actually have access to the actual server I'm really trying to use), I managed to get it "not" working on my localhost as it was "not" working on that server. On localhost I was able to put the DEBUG in the map file and see the results. It told me that it couldn't resolve the host (Host not found).
There is an extra '/' in the path being put in the WMC. Instead of http://<domain>/... in the OnlineResource, it is getting http:///<domain>/... during the process. Now I just have to figure out why that's happening but I'm sure it won't be difficult. Thank you for reminding me of the DEBUG.
