Hi all, We've been using mapserver as a WMS server and need to determine (outside of mapserver) if a requested image contains layers defined in the getmap request based on the layers min/maxscaledenom setting in the mapfile. If a request to the WMS is in the MAP SRS then we simply calculate the image scale using a method like the one used in the mapscale.c msCalculateScale and compare it to the MaxScaleDenom defined in the GetCapabilities and everything works as expected.
The issue we have is that if the WMS GetMap SRS projection does not match the native projection of the layer the maxscaledenom will vary. For example if the layers is in web mercator projection and has a maxscaledenom of 25000 but the request is made in EPSG:4326 geographic the layer will not be drawn above a scale of ~ 1:16000 in QGIS. How can I calculate what 25000 equals for other SRSs? How does mapserver calculate the min/max scaledenom for various projections / units? Thanks
