HELP, mode=map returns text string not image (KNOW BUG??).

Reuven -

Is your Tomcat environment expecting/able to handle the image type
(PNG?) being returned?

image (KNOW BUG??).

I am running MS4.2 on WinXP over Tomcat.

I am using a very simple Map file that creates a single layer (see
below).

When mode=browse it works fine, but when I use mode=img it either
returns a long string of unicode characters, or it returns the following
exception:

java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: 0
        at java.lang.String.charAt(String.java:444)

Is there a know problem, or am I doing something terribly wrong?

Thanks,
Reuven.
