<p class="MsoNormal">My understanding is that this would have the same effect as adding "OPACITY 50" to the test_b layer in the mapfile. The mapfile containing test_a and test_b did not have OPACITY included when they were written. Obviously, this no longer
works with MapServer 8, and now that request has the same results as omitting the "&map.layer[test_b]=OPACITY+50" portion entirely.<u></u><u></u></p>

https://mapserver.org/cgi/controls.html#using-mapserver-version-8</a> suggests it might no longer work for MapServer 8 (based on the heading "Using MapServer version < 8"), but the documentation at <a href="https://eur06.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmapserver.org%2Fpdf%2FMapServer.pdf&data=05%7C01%7Cjukka.rahkonen%40maanmittauslaitos.fi%7C751680624f65498df41008db14ec07c5%7Cc4f8a63255804a1c92371d5a571b71fa%7C0%7C1%7C638126776216198394%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=OGoZ%2FK4IwX1%2FVRmcWsewiygoys24Vg4eDlGYIhtdcUk%3D&reserved=0" target="_blank">https://mapserver.org/pdf/MapServer.pdf</a>
