MapInfo Spatial Server Web Map Service - Product Documentation ...

Getting Maps
The primary reason to use or establish a Web Map Server is to obtain or serve maps. Use the GetMap
request to obtain images from a WMS server. GetMap requests are always sent as HTTP strings and
the response is a map image with well-defined geospatial and dimensional parameters in the image
format specified in the request.

MapInfo Spatial Server Web Map Service
Description
Request version. MapInfo Spatial Server WMS supports both
version 1.1.1 and 1.3.0 of the OGC specification.
Service type. This is always WMS.
Request name. For a GetMap request this is always GetMap.
The layer or layers to be included in the map image. Each
layer should be separated by a comma. For example:
LAYERS=Layer1,Layer2,Layer3
Comma-separated list of one rendering style per requested
layer. A style is required for each layer requested. If no style
is requested, the attribute must be present but without a value.
If requesting multiple layers, the styles listed should be in the
same order as the layers. For example:
STYLES=Style1,,Style3
Chapter 3: Web Map Service Capabilities
In the above example the second style (for the second layer
requested) is left blank, allowing the default style defined for
the layer to be used.
The spatial reference system used in the map (numeric representation
of the projection of the map, also known as the
coordinate reference system). This parameter is only used
for 1.1.1 versions of the OGC specification. If this is not specified,
the default spatial reference system, as defined in the
default style of the layer, is used.
The coordinate reference system used in the map (numeric
representation of the projection of the map, also known as
the spatial reference system). This parameter is only used
for 1.1.1 versions of the OGC specification. If this is not specified,
the default coordinate reference system, as defined in
the default style of the layer, is used.
