Hi, Another tip that might help you: I had some problems when the extent of my GE (Google Earth) viewer was much wider then my mapfile extent. Ge could not load mapserver's png getmap image. To fix that, all wms calls to my mapserver wms service are redirected to an my cocoon server (xml based server) which restricts the wms extent before fetching the wms getmap image from mapserver. Works good!
Demo: Click on the GE link at the bottom this page to get the kml (wms Mapserver based) service (prototype site) http://ntserv.gis.nrcan.gc.ca/cocoon/ngwd/services/featureCollection/app-map?locale=en&REQUEST=GETFEATURE&FEATUREID=ca.nb.gov.wmslayerref.23139&SESSION=Public FYI, here is my mapfile output format: OUTPUTFORMAT NAME png DRIVER "GD/PNG" MIMETYPE "image/png" IMAGEMODE PC256 EXTENSION "png" FORMATOPTION "INTERLACE=OFF" TRANSPARENT ON END TRANSPARENT ON Cheers Héryk NRCan
