The wrappers that Frank and Jukka refer to are documented for unix and windows/apache and windows/iis at: http://www.mapserver.org/ogc/wms_server.html#more-about-the-online-resource-url

I use that section myself to remove the map parameter all the time :)

If so, the problem is with ArcMap, and you should file a

In the meantime, you can wrap the WCS service so that the map does not
need to be defined in the URL.  On Linux I would normally accomplish
this by putting a shell script in the cgi-bin directory that
defines the
MS_MAPFILE environment variable.  I'm not so sure how to
accomplish this
on Windows, though you could likely add MS_MAPFILE's
definition in your
Apache configuration if it is unlikely to cause conflicts on any other
service run from the same apache.

Hi

I do not know if this is elegant but it works on Windows

1. Copy the mapserv.exe file in the cgi-bin directory and name a copy to 
whatever you want to use in the ServiceURL, for example testi_wcs1
2. Edit Apache httpd.conf file and add a new line
SetEnvIf Request_URI "/cgi-bin/testi_wcs1" 
MS_MAPFILE=d:/ms4w/maps/testi_wcs1.map
3. Restart Apache

Now if the service url is pointing to /cgi-bin/testi_wcs1? MS_MAPFILE is set to 
d:/ms4w/maps/testi_wcs1.map automatically. Make more copies of mapserv.exe and 
add new lines into httpd.conf when you will have a need short urls for 
testi_wcs2 and others.
