[mapserver-users] WMS GetFeatureInfo - is it possible to supportmultiple INFO_FORMATs?

[Rahkonen Jukka]

Hi,

If you mean an effect like this

http://demo.mapserver.org/cgi-bin/wms?SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetFeatureInfo&BBOX=-11.332970,24.121208,47.584718,57.965035&SRS=EPSG:4326&WIDTH=1001&HEIGHT=575&LAYERS=cities&STYLES=&FORMAT=image/png&TRANSPARENT=true&QUERY_LAYERS=cities&INFO_FORMAT=text/plain&X=229&Y=280

vs.

http://demo.mapserver.org/cgi-bin/wms?SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetFeatureInfo&BBOX=-11.332970,24.121208,47.584718,57.965035&SRS=EPSG:4326&WIDTH=1001&HEIGHT=575&LAYERS=cities&STYLES=&FORMAT=image/png&TRANSPARENT=true&QUERY_LAYERS=cities&INFO_FORMAT=text/html&X=229&Y=280

then yes, it is possible

Not that I know of.  In fact you should probably check the WMS spec on 
the OGC site to see if that is allowed by the standard (my guess is no). 
  I do know that the MapServer support for GetFeatureInfo requests is 
documented in the "Configuring for GetFeatureInfo Requests" section of 
http://www.mapserver.org/ogc/wms_server.html

Of course, I've been wrong many times before, so someone can correct me 
if I am wrong here :)
