[mapserver-users] WMS Request issue

2008-08-15 Thread Fischer, Brian
MapServer users: Has anyone else ran into this issue. I am trying to access a WMS service I setup through a web browser to test it and the browser keeps prompting me to download mapserv.exe instead of executing it. Any ideas why it works on a non-wms request and not the wms getmap request?

Brian: what you're actually getting back is a service exception (try saving and opening the output in a text editor such as Notepad), which states invalid layers given. In your WMS GetMap request, you specify the layer parcelwms which does exists in your mapfile (i.e. LAYER.NAME). When I try

I am trying to allow data downloads via a GetCoverage requests from a mapserver-backed web coverage service. From the documentation, it would appear that the wcs_timeposition in a layers' metadata section can specify the start and end time positions for the layer. wcs_timeposition *
