Well, our MapServer should be a client for the secured one and send usernames and passwords. And that must happen through https, the other end does not listen http. I was just thinking that it cannot be as easy as setting mapfile like CONNNECTIONTYPE WMS CONNECTION "https://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/etc." I have found some previous postings telling that Mapserver is supporting https if curl supports it, but not any concrete examples about how to do it. -Jukka-
