Hi, Documentation says that CONNECTION in one place where it is supported so have a try http://mapserver.org/cgi/runsub.html. Validation may be needed or not, I am not sure how to interpret the documentation but you will notice it soon. Take a habit to use DEBUG 5 and read your errorfile while experimenting. By the way, you do not read polygons from the remote WMS, you read rasters. Thus TYPE RASTER. -Jukka Rahkonen- Robert Sanson wrote: > Hi > Is it possible to have variable substitution within the CONNECTION string for > CONNECTIONTYPE WMS? > Here is a layer section from my mapfile: > LAYER > NAME farm > GROUP "CRS" > TYPE POLYGON > STATUS ON > CONNECTION "http://remoteserver/cgi-bin/mywms.exe?farmid=%farmid%"; > CONNECTIONTYPE WMS > METADATA > "wms_srs" "EPSG:2193" > "wms_name" "farm" > "wms_server_version" "1.1.1" > "wms_format" "image/png" > "wms_exceptions_format" "application/vnd.ogc.se_xml" > END > END > I am wanting to hit my cascading Mapserver WMS and pass it a farmid value > which should then be passed through to the other WMS server for processing. > Many thanks, > Robert Sanson This email and any attachments are confidential and intended solely for the addressee(s).
