[mapserver-users] WMS 1.3.0 questions

Yves,

About the version parameter value: it only says which version you want to, not 
the one the WMS serveur **should** use. If WMS server can't serve this 
version, it will try the higher it can if client version > server version or 
the lower it can if client version < server version. The client version is the 
version value in the url, asked by the client.

Regards,

Y.
