The standard allows multiple mime types for the GetFeatureInfo request: 7.4.3.5 INFO_FORMAT The mandatory INFO_FORMAT parameter indicates what format to use when returning the feature information. Supported values for a GetFeatureInfo request on a WMS server are listed as MIME types in one or more <Request><FeatureInfo><Format> elements of its service metadata. The entire MIME type string in <Format> is used as the value of the INFO_FORMAT parameter. In an HTTP environment, the MIME type shall be set on the returned object using the Content-type entity header. If the request specifies a format not supported by the server, the server shall issue a service exception (code = InvalidFormat). However, as the example capabilities document shows, the available mime types for the GetFeatureInfo request is defined on a per-server basis, and as far as I can tell, all queryable layers must support all formats. http://schemas.opengis.net/wms/1.3.0/capabilities_1_3_0.xml <Capability> ... <Request> ... <GetFeatureInfo> <Format>text/xml</Format> <Format>text/plain</Format> <Format>text/html</Format> <DCPType> <HTTP> <Get> <OnlineResource xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"; xlink:type="simple" xlink:href="http://hostname/path?"; /> </Get> </HTTP> </DCPType> </GetFeatureInfo> </Request> </Capability> -- Trond Michelsen _______________________________________________ mapserver-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users
