Gabriel,
You didn't misunderstood my question. With the help of your direction I have been able to view SVG (getMapSvg.url) through my IE. I think providing reference to local copy of the WMS DTD will be a great idea. I am still getting operation timeout. Does it mean that I would have difficulty accessing local WMS?
I have been wondering how you people test the functionality like zoom in/out, pan, add feature, query etc. What Mapping tool you use in particular. I am trying to setup GeoClientX tool (MapBuilder) but stuck with some issues. Could you pl. look into my post with subject -geoclientx(MapBuilder) and Geoserver, Dated - Fri 2004/04/30
I would like to integrate a mapping tool like GeoClientX with GeoServer. What Open Source Client Tool you would suggest.
I would appreciate your suggestions.
Regards,
Swapan Mazumdar

Hi,
From within the GeoServer App Welcome page, the GetCapabilities link
of wms returns a page with timeout error like below:The XML page cannot be displayed
Cannot view XML input using style sheet. Please correct the error and
then click the Refresh button, or try again later.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The operation was timed out. Error processing resource
'http://www.digitalearth.gov/wmt/xml/capabilities_1_1_1.dtd’.
digitalearth.gov is the mandatory repository for the WMS dtd's. It seems
that your browser (IE?) couldn't access that resource at the time when
you made the query. Anyway, I suppose we should be allowed to reference
a local copy of the WMS DTD's just as it is done with WFS schemas.
What geoserver people think?
1) Why is it referring to a resource from igitalearth.gov and timed
out? Pl. note that from the Demo section of GeoServer App, all the
dropdown request works well except the getMapSvg.url(http://localhost:8080/geoserver/wms?request=GetMap&layers=bc_roads&bbox=489153,5433000,529000,5460816&width=800&height=400&srs=EPSG:27354&styles=normal&Format=image/svg+xml
<http://localhost:8080/geoserver/wms?request=GetMap&layers=bc_roads&bbox=489153,5433000,529000,5460816&width=800&height=400&srs=EPSG:27354&styles=normal&Format=image/svg+xml>\).
This tries to download a file from the geoserver without processing
the script/code. 2) Why does this request fails to execute?I ll appreciate any response in this regard.
Svg is an XML image format developed by W3C. Currently no browsers
except some versions of mozilla have native support for it, although
they will in the short term since SVG is a w3c recomendation (==
standard). So, in order to be able to load SVG images, your browser must
have a plugin instaled. The most widely used is the Adobe SVG Viewer,
wich you can download and install from Adobe's web site
(http://www.adobe.com/svg/viewer/install/main.html)
Hope this helps. If not, please tell me, perhaps I missunderstand your
problem/question.

I think we all need a decent WMS client, don't we ?
