[mapserver-users] Status on ticket 2582?

[Martin Kofahl]

Hi Alan,

the intention of #1952 (and #2582 !?) was to hide a layer only for 
capabilities requests. E.g. in order to hide grouped layers with 
different resolutions which shall be used only by the group name. So 
getmap requests (e.g. using the group name) shall definitely work even 
if a layer is hidden.

I think your work will prevent the layer to be served at all?!
