Hi Mapserver users,

I'm using Mapserver (5.0) as a WMS client with a WMS service that
returns animated GIF images. However, it appears that Mapserver does not
show the animation but only shows the first frame of the animated GIF.
When I call the WMS server directly, the animated image is shown
correctly.

My mapfile for the WMS layer looks like this:

        LAYER
                NAME "product"
                TYPE raster
                STATUS on

                CONNECTION "http://example.com/wms?";
                CONNECTIONTYPE WMS

                METADATA
                        "wms_srs"               "EPSG:4326"
                        "wms_name"              "animatedlayer"
                        "wms_server_version"    "1.1.1"
                        "wms_format"            "image/gif"
                        "wms_exceptions_format" "application/vnd.ogc.se_xml"
                        "wms_connectiontimeout" "60"
                END
        END

Can anyone tell me if there is a solution or work-around to let
Mapserver handle these images correctly? Can Mapserver simply not handle
animated GIFs through WMS or could I be making a mistake, e.g. in my
mapfile?

Thanks in advance for any replies, kind regards,

Arjen.
