<font size="2">Following Bug 1952, <br><br>I volunteer to write a patch that allows users to specify if a layer is visible or not. <br>I have planed to add the following metadata:<br><br>ows_service <wms || wcs || wfs || none >
<br><br>This metadata would allow to control the layers showed in a Get Capability. If a developer want to show a layer in wcs only, ows_service could be set to wcs.<br>For Tileindex layers, developer could set ows_service to none and a Get Capability request would not show this layer.
<br><br>If no "ows_service" metadata is defined, mapserver would produce the same Get Capability result shown in the current release, 4.10.<br><br>Let me know what you think.<br>Denis<br><br></font>
