Hi list, we all know a WMS GetCapabilities response can take a long time to be generated, which can be problematic for client applications working real-time on the GetCapabilities interface. Therefore a lot of vendors (ESRI, Ionic) store the WMS capabilities response on file.
I think it would be a good idea for Mapserver to support this as well. It could be as simple as adding a new METADATA at the WEB level called wms_capabilities_file (or maybe also include the WMS version in the name of the metadata?). If this exists, Mapserver will return the file, if it does not exist, it will generate dynamically. What do others think?
