I have been working for a while with WMS layers served by MapServer at they
work great. One thing I was wondering about: What are the wms_title and
wms_group_title tags actually good for ?
When I tried to use them to access a WMS they actually don't work (in a http
request as layer names), instead with MapServer the MapServer layer names has
to be used (at least in all cases I checked). So for example I have a group of
river layer in my map file just like the one below:
LAYER
NAME "Rivers"
GROUP "Rivers"
TYPE LINE
DUMP true
METADATA
"wms_group_title" "the_rivers"
"wms_title" "the_rivers"
"wms_srs" "epsg:4326"
"wms_feature_info_mime_type" "text/html"
END
...
So "Rivers" I can use to get the layer in a getmap request but not
"the_rivers". So is there any use for "wms_group_title" and "wms_title" ?
How is this handled by other map rendering engines (Geoserver, Mapnik , Degree?)
Thanks so much
Karsten
