[UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Google Earth -Get capabilities error

[Silvia Petcu]

Hi,
I'm trying to add my wms layers to Google Earth and it is failing when I’m 
using 
the GetCapabilities url in the “Web Mapping Service parameters” window (the 
address is working fine in ArcCatalog or IE). The error says that this WMS 
service has no layers that can be rendered by Google Earth.

http://ntgomap.nwtgeoscience.ca/cgi-bin/wms_test.php?
VERSION=1.1.1&request=Getcapabilities&service=wms&srs=EPSG:4326

I can add individual WMS layers by entering the “GetMap” url in the Link 
textbox from the same map file that is failing on GetCapabilities. 

http://ntgomap.nwtgeoscience.ca/cgi-bin/wms_test.php?
VERSION=1.1.1&request=GetMap&srs=EPSG:4326&BBOX=-146.4,52.15,-
93.6,97.74&WIDTH=500&HEIGHT=500&LAYERS=ArcheanLimits&STYLES=&FORM
AT=image/png


Bellow is the map file that has this behavior. I need to know what do I have to 
do as Google map to be able to get handle the GetCapabilities url as well.

I appreciate any kind of help that will bring some light to my problem.
