HI,
I just received this email from a developer interested in using our
WMS feeds, but getting errors. I really don't know much about WMS, and
just enabled it the typical TDS manner. He has provided a copy of the
crossdomain.xml file that apparently is the root of his errors. Does
anyone know more about this? Can I just put the crossdomain.xml file
some where in the TDS path to resolve this?
Thanks,
Tom

My name is Frank Roberts and I am working with Bill Robberson at US
EPA in San Francisco to make use of your  WFS connection to 6km data
found at the following location:



http://hfrnet.ucsd.edu/thredds/wms/HFRNet/USWC/6km/hourly/RTV?VERSION=1.3.0&REQUEST=GetCapabilities&SERVICE=WMS



In working with the above service, I seem to be getting an error.  It
appears that the server may be missing a file at the root of the web
service:

http://hfrnet.ucsd.edu/crossdomain.xml



The crossdomain.xml  file is used by some software such as Adobe Flash
when combing services  and it is required for the mash up of services
to work correctly.  I imagine I might be the first person that may
have run into this issue.   The following is a quick right up of what
the crossdomain.xml file does:

Can I get someone to verify the  existence of the crossdomain.xml file
on the server?  In the event that it is missing, I would gladly
provide you a copy of one I already have in existence.  In fact, I
will attach it to this email, if that is of any help.



I know utilization of your service is very important to the EPA, and I
would like to do whatever I can to get access.



Thanks for your assistance,





Frank Roberts
