[OpenLayers-Users] Querying Features on a WMS Layer

[Bill Thoen]

Has anyone here tried to hack a way into querying features from a WMS 
layer? I'm thinking it might be doable in a way similar to how MapSurfer 
does it. Basically, you capture a point click or box corners and send 
that back to a MapServer query template and then capture the results 
either into a querymap or a table template. Anyway, if anyone has done 
this and has an example they'd be willing to share, I'd like to see how 
it's done. If this technique actually works, I think it might be a good 
way to get the benefits of vector features without having to use feature 
objects.
