Downloading from WMS server that doesn't support EPSG:4326

[czietz]

Hi,

I'd like to download data from a WMS server that doesn't support EPSG:4326 as SRS. (This fact is also stated in the answer to the GetCapabilities request.) Is there a way to tell GM (v.10 or v.11) to use another SRS for the GetMap request?

Christian,

What you can do is add the desired EPSG code to the service name when adding the service, like 'WMS&SRS=EPSG:4326' (use the desired EPSG code of course). If that doesn't work, let me know what EPSG code the server is using as it's possible GM simply doesn't recognize that EPSG code yet, but I can add it (actually you can add it as well to the epsg_codes.txt file, but I'd rather just build it in so others can use it).

Thanks,

Unfortunately, adding the desired SRS to the service name doesn't change anything. I still get an error message saying

The WMS server address in question is http://www.mapserver.niedersachsen.d...c/mapserverogc. It supports EPSG:31467.

What version of GM are you using? When I created a new source with the service name set to 'WMS&SRS=EPSG:31467' that SRS is used rather than 4326.

Strange, it works now after I deleted the WMS source and added it again. Maybe I did something wrong the first time while setting the service name.

Anyway, thank you, Mike.
