Hi Perfect - things work now. Here is my layer:
LAYER NAME farm GROUP "CRS" TYPE RASTER STATUS ON CONNECTION "http://remoteserver/cgi-bin/mywms.exe?farmid=%farmid%"; CONNECTIONTYPE WMS VALIDATION 'farmid' '^[A-Z]{2}[0-9]{5}$' END 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 Regards, Robert >>> "Lime, Steve D (MNIT)" <[email protected]> 29/01/2014 4:26 a.m. >>> Those need to be removed, there's a validation section a little later in that same document that takes precedence. I'll create a documentation ticket.
