[mapserver-users] MapServer 5.4 WMS Server VERSION=1.3.0 Problem

[Yewondwossen Assefa]

Hi,

  Do you have the full URL that is received by the server?	
  MapServer WMS 1.3.0 supports the following EXCEPTIONS : XML, INIMAGE, 
or BLANK.
  Is might be  possible to add  EXCEPTIONS: "XML" (or INIMAGE, or BLANK) 
   when building your OL wms 1.3.0 layer?

  Best Regards,
