ArcGIS server GetCapabilities URL format?

[Anonymous User]

Original User: kmjohnson

I'm trying to access some WMS layers from an ArcGIS server using GeoServer. In order to do this, I need to enter the capabilities URL for the ArcGIS server. I've looked for documentation about what the format would be, but haven't found anything. What I've been trying to use is:

http://theserver/arcgis/rest/services/images/ortho_1990/ImageServer/WMSServer?VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=...

but this keeps returning errors.

Can anyone tell me what the format for a WMS GetCapabilities request to an ArcGIS server should be?

Try this:
.../arcgis/services/YourMapServiceName/MapServer/WMSServer?request=GetCapabilities&service=WMS
