A followup, as this is solved, the OGC server GetFeatureInfo is functional.
The problem I was running into was 2-fold: Something in my install of XML parsing dependencies was messed up. An error about the WMS `INFO_FORMAT:` was being reported by the OGS server, but never appearing in the apache logs because the XML processing was stuck in an infinite loop, and resulting in 'permature end of script' errors. Once I changed the EXCEPTIONS: to "application/vnd.ogc.se_inimage" from the XML format I clearly saw the error that Mapnik WMS only supports INFO_FORMAT: 'text/plain' rather than 'text/html' (which I should have recalled from the readme instructions). Now I've got a working WMS GetFeatureInfo example posted here using OpenLayers: http://mapnik-utils.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/serverside/wms/openlayers_get_feature_info.html Cheers, Dane On Aug 5, 2008, at 8:57 AM, Dane Springmeyer wrote: > > Thanks to Dave's recent changeset (http://trac.mapnik.org/changeset/ > 714) in svn trunk, the OGCServer code is working nicely again and I'm > investigating using it for a few projects. > > I can't seem to GetFeatureInfo query working however.
