Re: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] SLD and ExternalGraphic formats

Tom,

 This was a fixed before the 4.8 release ((Bug 1430). Could you confirm 
that the server is running that version at least ?

Later,

Hi,

We're using an SLD to custom symbolize some point data with an
ExternalGraphic ref, and resulting behaviour is as expected, until we
try to symbolize with ExternalGraphic.

Snippet below:

<ExternalGraphic>
 <OnlineResource xlink:type="simple"
xlink:href="http://eman-rese.ca/logos/gif/EMAN_colour_black_text.gif"/>
 <Format>GIF</Format>
</ExternalGraphic>

...however, when I change the Format element to "image/gif", the OGC:WMS
server (powered by MapServer) does not symbolize based on the
ExternalGraphic def.

When looking at latest CVS, mapogcsld.c, line 2146, it looks like they
take OGC:WMS 1.0.0 and 1.1.+ style of format defs (i.e. "GIF", "PNG",
"image/gif", "image/png"), but this is not evident in the GetMap output.
