[Mapserver-users] request=GetMap& error in MapServer v4.1

[Ed McNierney]

Rene -

I'm a little puzzled - your GetMap request is missing several required
parameters (SRS, BBox, Width, Height, Layers, etc.).  I'm surprised it
worked at all in 4.0.2.  The error message is (a little obscurely)
complaining because you have no LAYERS at all.

Subject: [Mapserver-users] request=GetMap& error in MapServer v4.1

When I try to request GetMap:
http://10.2.185.9/cgi-bin/mapserv402.exe?map=/inetpub/wwwroot/wms/wmstes
t.map&version=1.1.1&request=GetMap&

I get a download prompt which gives me an error. This works fine in
MapServer v4.0.2, anyone know what's up?

Here is the error:
