[Qgis-developer] QGIS Server SLD GetStyles method bug?

[Marco Hugentobler]

Hi Alessandro

 >If I understand this correctly, we should split GetStyle and GetStyles 
calls and support the second one only if SLDVER is set and 
  SLDVER=1.0.0, raise an exception if not match.

Yes, GetStyle and GetStyles should be split. As SLDVER is optional, it 
might be good to raise an exception only if wms version is != 1.1.1 (or 
if other required parameters are missing).

Regards,
Marco
