Both ways work and are valid when tested in various XML validators. You can use VendorSpecificCapabilities, yes, but the extra info, which, from this thread, appears to be on a per-layer basis, would have to be enclosed within the VendorSpecificaCapabilities tag, with the correct ELEMENT defitions within the DOCTYPE. http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/WMS_Tiling_Client_Recommendation#Example_Vend orSpecificCapabilities exemplifies this capability. Here's an example per this thread: <VendorSpecificCapabilities> <AncillaryInformation> <LayerProperty layer="foo" name="WMS_SHOW_QUERY_IN">large_popup</LayerProperty> ... </AncillaryInformation> </VendorSpecificCapabilities> ...or something like that. To confirm, you cannot set something like this from within the mapfile > > On 26-09-08 09:27, "Jochen Topf" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > On Fri, Sep 26, 2008 at 09:05:06AM +0200, Barend Kobben wrote: > >> FYI, the valid way to extend the GetCapabilities is to use the > >> <VendorSpecificCapabilities /> element.
