as per mapserver 4.4 release notes:<br><br><pre>- Layers now accept an EXTENT through the mapfile (bug 786). Nothing <br> is done with it at this point, and getExtent still queries the <br> datasource rather than getting information from the mapfile-specified <br>

i am trying to use getExtent on this layer, but the coordinates i get back ([<span>"minx":-25000000,"miny":-25000000,"maxx":25000000,"maxy":25000000</span>]) are not the correct extents([1180204.375000, 809428.750000,1222443.000000, 857276.187500)]).<br>
<br>is there a way to get the proper extents of a layer even though they might not be specified in the mapfile?<br><br><br>
