Thank you. I added wms_resx and wms_resy to my mapfile with reasonable values (and some unreasonable ones, just as tests). This makes no difference. When I make a GetCapabilities request, the layer's bounding box is correct but it does NOT contain the resx or resy settings, as I believe it should.
I don't know if this is a problem in my mapfile or in MapServer. My mapfile layer looks like this (file names changed for proprietary reasons): LAYER NAME "MyImage" GROUP "MyGroup" EXTENT 75.80425 35.304 76.01625 35.476 METADATA "wms_title" "MyImage" "wms_group_title" "MyGroup" "wms_extent" "75.80425 35.304 76.01625 35.476" "wms_srs" "EPSG:4326" "wms_resx" "1.0" # Note: these values are for testing only. The actual values have "wms_resy" "1.0" # also been tried, with no success. They are 5.90139233796e-06, -4.85244300668e-06 END PROCESSING "SCALE=AUTO" PROCESSING "SCALE_BUCKETS=256" TYPE RASTER DATA "MyImage.vrt" PROJECTION "+proj=longlat +ellps=WGS84 +towgs84=0,0,0,0,0,0,0 +no_defs" END END Rahkonen Jukka wrote > > Hi, > > WMS does not advertise by default the native resolution of the data.
