Support ArcIMS as a image server
--------------------------------

         Key: UDIG-895
         URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/UDIG-895
     Project: uDIG
        Type: New Feature

  Components: wms, Tiling Renderer  
    Versions: UDIG 1.2    
    Reporter: Paul Ramsey
     Fix For: UDIG 1.2


ArcIMS is a map server, like WMS, but with its own dialect, ArcXML (see http://edndoc.esri.com/arcims/9.0/).  Each server can support multiple image services.  Start with <GETCLIENTSERVICES> to get a list of services, then move onto <GET_SERVICE_INFO>, and finally <GET_IMAGE>.  Just like WMS.  Note that some ArcIMS sites do not advertise their CRS, so are pretty useless as web services.  But many do.  For an example of a simple ArcIMS client in Perl, see http://mapserver.refractions.net/imsclient/ and download http://mapserver.refractions.net/imsclient/imsclient.zip
