Hello. Jukka: Unfortunately it is not even sending any requests when I change the URL into "http://www.gonewacko.com/"; Of course this would not work, but when I look at my packet sniffer (ethereal/wireshark) I don't even see mapserver *attempting* to connect to gonewacko.com. In other words, even when the URL does not feature basic authentication and it is not a https URL, mapserver does not make any HTTP connections.
As for the advice given about the scale and the extent: The scale hints I had forgotten to update after fiddling around with the various SRSes available. I also feared that the extent would be the culprit. Unfortunately I do not seem to understand the way the EXTENT works to find the proper settings. But I'm taking another close look at whatever documentation I might find (links to documents explaining the option in greater detail would be appreciated ;)) in order to find out what the proper setting would be. Thank you for the quick responses!

EPSG:2393 is ok. So the question is if basic authentication is supported or not. -Jukka- ________________________________ Ldhettdjd: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Puolesta Rahkonen Jukka Ldhetetty: 11. kesdkuuta 2008 12:51 Vastaanottaja: mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org Aihe: Re: [mapserver-users] WMS Client setup not sending any requests Hi, Your first problem is that you are requesting layer rasta100 layer in EPSG:2393, but it supports only EPSG:3067. But I am thinking that the basic problem is that MapServer does not support connection over https with basic authentication at all. I started a thread named "Cascading external WMS using basic authentication over https" in January this year.

It is good news for me if MapServer has made to support connection in the way you are trying, thus( https://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]) -Jukka Rahkonen- ________________________________ Ldhettdjd: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Puolesta GoneWacko Ldhetetty: 11. kesdkuuta 2008 10:34 Vastaanottaja: mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org Aihe: [mapserver-users] WMS Client setup not sending any requests Hello, I am currently working on a project where I'm trying to use Mapserver as a WMS client, intending to have Mapserver handle the overlaying of data for me. The WMS service I'm going to be using one licensed from the National Land Survey of Finland. This server only supports HTTPS connections and requires Basic Authorization to get data from the service. This may prove to be an issue for me in the future, but at the moment I'm having (what I suspect to be) a different problem. When I test my Map file, which to the best of my (currently limited) knowledge of Mapserver, should work, I only get entirely white images back from the mapserv binary. I've not yet figured out how to get mapserv to do verbose logging, but the logging it does so far does not show me what the issue might be. I've been trying to get it to work on linux, but then when it didn't I tried it on my local windows machine as well. Both machines display the same white image. The output of my mapserv -v invocations: On Linux: MapServer version 5.0.2 OUTPUT=GIF OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP OUTPUT=SVG SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=FREETYPE SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WMS_CLIENT SUPPORTS=WFS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WFS_CLIENT SUPPORTS=GEOS INPUT=EPPL7 INPUT=OGR INPUT=GDAL INPUT=SHAPEFILE On Windows: MapServer version 5.0.2 OUTPUT=GIF OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP OUTPUT=PDF OUTPUT=SWF OUTPUT=SVG SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=AGG SUPPORTS=FREETYPE SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WMS_CLIENT SUPPORTS=WFS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WFS_CLIENT SUPPORTS=WCS _SERVER SUPPORTS=SOS_SERVER SUPPORTS=FASTCGI SUPPORTS=THREADS SUPPORTS=GEOS INPUT=JPEG INPUT=POSTGIS INPUT=OGR INPUT=GDAL INPUT=SHAPEFILE The map file I'm using can be found at the following location: http://www.gonewacko.com/work/finland.map For more information about the capabilities of the WMS Server I'm trying to connect to, I've uploaded the results of a GetCapabilities request here: http://gonewacko.com/work/GetCapabilities.xml (Most of the text is in Finnish; Which I don't actually understand myself, but luckily it's not too relevant). The URL I've been using to test it has usually just been http://example.com/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/path/to/finland.map&mode=map. My theories are - The map has been set up in such a way that mapserv finds it's not within the area I'm requesting, and as such does not attempt to render it. - The map has just been set up incorrectly (most likely) Note that the only files I have are the map file. I do not have any shape files or anything of that nature. And apart from the censored login information in the URLs, the map file is available in its entirety. Also note that I've tried replacing the WMS URLs with something that is not a https url (i.e. a normal http url), as well as omitting the authorization data. It still wouldn't send a request to the URL. Can anyone shed some light on what I'm doing wrong? Thanks in advance.
