[mapserver-users] GetFeatureInfo - get wms_title

[Steve.Toutant at inspq.qc.ca]

Hi daniel,
It seems that only the parameter NAME of the LAYER key is used by 
getFeatureInfo. the wms_name of the METADATA is not used.
I tried to set wms_layername in the METADATA but I get an error and no 
response. I tried with wms_layer_name and the query's result still returns 
LAYER NAME

It seems that there is a nice undocumented feature to do what you want
(I found it in the code just now):

Add a "wms_layername" metadata to your layer definition and this value
will be used as the layer name in the GetFeatureInfo GML output. (The
default is to use the layer name + "_layer" (e.g. "parks_layer" for a
layer named "parks")
