Thanks Trond. This works well if I want to require a TIME parameter. I'd like to be able to respond to requests with or without the TIME parameter (since it is optional even if advertised as a dimension). If there's not another solution, I'll code something to modify the connection string if the TIME parameter is sent. Thanks for the idea. Perhaps wms_timeitem is not supposed to be used for cascading WMS. Tim > > -- > Trond Michelsen >
