The WMS server interface in IDV was a proof of concept and has not been tested or finished. No one is working on finishing this at this time. Only layers that are queriable for extents can be accessed. What data do you want to access from the WMS server? We are more likely to go the route of a Web Coverage Server (WCS) interface for future development.
