Custom WMS Server Question
« on: December 04, 2008, 08:00:31 PM »
Greetings -
I'm trying to load MassGIS data into TopoFusion via the custom WMS server list and keep getting an invalid URL. The URL seems to work ok when hand-coded into a browser so is something perhaps being rewritten by TF?  The parameter string that I'm passing is: geoserver/wms?VERSION=1.1.1&LAYERS=massgis:GISDATA.IMG_COQ2005&FORMAT=image/jpeg to server giswebservices.massgis.state.ma.us. I'm using the MassGIS format data as explained at http://lyceum.massgis.state.ma.us/wiki....e:home.

cheers ... '<img'> gn

Strange, I've never seen a server that requires http:// before the request.

Unfortunately I had to tweak the code to get rid of a prefix backslash to make it work.  Do you have a registered copy?  If so I can hook you up with a beta version that works.

Looks like some nice data for Mass.  Great looking aerials.  I'll see if I can just incorporate it into the Color tileset.

Thanks.

Thanks for taking a look. No, I don't have a registered copy yet (getting close - I'll have to ask for it for Christmas :-)) but I'd still be willing to kick around the beta if you'd like. There are still a few features that I need in TopoFusion before I can switch to it as my all around mapping program of choice (ref. post in Feature Requests) but I'm feeling that's going to be any day now.

Yep, bummer you missed it.  (Email me and I can hook you up with a smaller discount if you're interested)

I plan to do a quick beta with some fixes and additions such as this one, then a full release.  So this might make it into demo relatively soon.
