Hi Arnaud,
the reason is probably that it costs performance to go through the
projection layer.
For some things, like the simple demo, projection is not necessary
(all layers are shown unprojected), but for WMS it is necessary.
Fair enough!
I think it could be a good idea to have a warning in the WMS
GetCapabilities response that no projection was defined for the layer.
It seems like it is common practice to inspect (with the eyes) the
Capabilities for an OGC service which behaves a weird way, so it might
be a useful feature indeed.

Hi Angus,
I'm not using PostGIS layers; this is the Itasca demo for mapserver
4.x, and putting the PROJECTION param fixes it, indeed!
I wonder why it is not put (uncommented, actually) in the vanilla
demo package. Is there a reason?
Thank you very much for the information!
Best regards,
Arnaud

I am having a similar problem. Apparently Mapserver will
automatically calculate the bounding box if you define it using epsg
codes in the map file ex:
PROJECTION
"init=epsg:4269"
END
This works for me when I use shapefiles, i.e. it calculates the
correct bounding box in the right coordinates, however all my
Postgis layers end up with a bounding box of:
minx="-2.5e+07" miny="-2.5e+07" maxx="2.5e+07" maxy="2.5e+07"
Are youusing postgis layers? Does anybody know how to get mapserver
to calculate the correct bounding box for postgis layers?
Thanks for any help,

Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] WMS Capabilities: LatLonBoundingBox
Hello,
I'm absolutely new to mapserver, so I downloaded the demo for the
4.x version (I'm using Debian GNU/Linux).
The demo pages work ok, but when I do a GetCapabilities operation
(http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv?service=WMS&version=1.3&map=/var/www/workshop/itasca.map&request=GetCapabilities
- local intranet, sorry :( ), I get the attached XML document.
What I'm wondering is why the LatLonBoundingBox tags holds those
values, since they are supposed to be in 4326, if I read the WMS
spec right.
Am I doing something wrong?
I looked the archives, and googled the internet, but I couldn't find
any help on this exact topic.
I would definitely appreciate if somebody could provide any kind of
help; would it be just pointers on what I have to do/fix.
Best regards,
Arnaud
