Mapserver WMS and METADATA

[Kralidis,Tom [Burlington]]

Hi,

Correct.  In mapwmslayer.c, TRANSPARENT is always set to TRUE and BGCOLOR is not set at all.  I've started a ticket on this at http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/2349

	Hi,
	 
	 
	Mapserver uses the METADATA element in the mapfile to spesify the different WMS parameters, such as SRS, NAME and so on...
	 
	E.g:
	 METADATA
	  "wms_server_version"   "1.1.1"
	  "wms_srs"              "EPSG:32633"
	  "wms_name"             "Samkopi" 
	  "wms_format"           "image/png"
	  "wms_style"      "default"
	  "wms_bgcolor"     "0xFFFFFF"
	 END
	 
	Is there any way to add the WMS TRANSPARENT parameter in the same way?
	 
	We have noticed that Mapserver automatically adds TRANSPARENT=TRUE when fetching WMS data (GetMap). It seems that this behaviour also conserns the WMS BGCOLOR element, that is...we are not able to send TRANSPARENT=FALSE... 
	 
	We are using Mapserver 5.0
	 

	Thanks!

	Frode
