Hi Frank, Apologies if this is a dense question, but is it correct to assume the following:
1) create an XML file similar to this one that points at valid WCS service: <WCS_GDAL> <ServiceURL>http://maps.gdal.org/cgi-bin/mapserv_dem?</ServiceURL> <CoverageName>srtmplus_raw</CoverageName> </WCS_GDAL> 2. Create a Mapserver LAYER with TYPE raster, and where the DATA line points to the above-mentioned XML file. Is that it? Do I need to specify in the LAYER something special for Mapserver to use GDAL to query the WCS via the XML file? (whew, say that 3x fast) Thanks, Roger -- On Fri, Feb 27, 2009 at 2:38 PM, Roger André <ran...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Frank, > > I didn't know about the gdal WCS driver.
