I have created a Mapserver site and published a couple of large raster layers
through WMS. They work as expected and perform quiite well.
When i add the wms layers to Gaia or to Global Mapper they add and display
great. I want to display the layers in AutoCAD Map. When I add the WMS
layer
I set always the EXTEND information at the layer level.
This speed really the startup of mapserver.
Without the EXTENT al layer level the WMS try to calculate it to respond at
a
GetCapability request.
I guess the wms_extents is not sufficient to speed up mapserver.
hope to help.
Andrea.
Thanks for the tip Andrea.
I tried the settings but it makes no difference.
I have included my map file to be sure I am am asking the question clearly

data must be decompressed for each request. You will find easily recipes for
