RE: [mapserver-users] Does MS4W multi-thread?

2008-05-13 Thread James Lindstorff
AFAIK MS4W doesn't multi-thread - actually there is one proccess per request. The good news is that being able to serve multiple request I parallel is not a MapServer issue but an OS issue. So if you OS can detect multiple cores it will execute processes I parallel on the different cores.

Hi Sarel, I can probably explain it in a few sentences. WMS is a web mapping service, so it is meant to render an image of data, be it vector or raster data. It only gives you back an image representation of your data. WFS is a web feature service, it is meant to deliver the features (in

Hi Sarel, please cc the list since it might be useful for other people searching the archives one day. 1) AFAIK WMS server does not generate any images in the temp dir when using Mapserver in CGI mode. The WMS client in Mapserver does (so if you use remote WMS layers). I don't think WFS and

That's logical, since OGC did not define the mime-type as text/xml, but as application/vnd.ogc.wms_xml instead, so browsers have no clue what to do with it, so present the download dialog. You can probably configure your browser to display it as XML though. Best regards, Bart Stefan
