Hi Yuan,I downloaded the most recent nightly build of the IDV on my computer at work and I cannot get it to work with that brokering WCS to WMS URL. Has something changed in today's build of the IDV?-- BenOn Fri, Nov 2, 2012 at 1:55 PM, Yuan Ho <address@hidden> wrote:

Hi Yuan,
I just checked the WMS specifications (1.1.1 and 1.3.0) and neither requires or even lists the SERVICE parameter for the GetMap or the GetFeatureInfo requests. It is only listed (and mandatory) for the GetCapabilities request.
So, I think (as you first guessed) this is an issue for GI-Axe. Enrico and Mattia, does that sound right to you?
Thanks,

OK. I see. The unifi.it server is brokering a WCS service from the europa.eu
server into a WMS service. Here is the "bare" WMS GetCapabilities URL:
http://asclepio.pin.unifi.it:8080/gi-axe-3110-SNAPSHOT/services/wms?name=wc_2_5m_HADCM3_A2a_now_bio&protocol=urn:ogc:serviceType:WebCoverageService:1.0:HTTP&linkage=http://ehabitat-wps.jrc.ec.europa.eu/mapserver/index.php&service=WMS&version=1.1.1&request=GetCapabilities
And Ben's original GetMap URL slightly cleaned up:
http://asclepio.pin.unifi.it:8080/gi-axe-3110-SNAPSHOT/services/wms?name=wc_2_5m_HADCM3_A2a_now_bio&protocol=urn:ogc:serviceType:WebCoverageService:1.0:HTTP&linkage=http://ehabitat-wps.jrc.ec.europa.eu/mapserver/index.php&service=WMS&version=1.1.1&request=GetMap&format=image%2Fpng&SRS=EPSG:4326&CRS=EPSG:4326&Layers=wc_2_5m_HADCM3_A2a_now_bio&BBOX=-179.0,-22.0,180.0,80.0&width=592&height=600&reaspect=false&transparent=TRUE
