Sorry Andras
thx for your attention to this question, but
I'm not able to do what you say.

The specs:
What specs are you say ?

I have the iso specs of WMS 1.3.0 but they are payable.
Not availables to no one for free.

Instead on internet there are the OGC specs that are pretty equals.
They are free and available to everyone.
I sufficient to goto OGC download and read.

>developer willing to work on this.

Also this is not clear to me.
:)

I have just patched my server.
Why I should pay another to do the same think ?

Probably the problem is that the solution I apply is not so graceful to 
others
:)

We don't need the GetStle and GetPrint command.So for us is absolutely 
not imortant to preserve them.

The GetStyles is not available on GGeoserver and on MApServer , and we 
plan to create a federation of WMS servers
where every users use the wms server it like better.
But surely not plan to use a not standard wms server.
So no interest for GetStyle and GetPrint
command.

So why I should pay to preserve them ?

We pay many really many money in these year for QGIS.
And just now start to pay again because after three month qgis 2.4 start 
with another break that break some plugin we realize some time ago.
And more probably at the next 2.6 release should be again to pay for 
another break.

And just now we have payed to our actual QGIS partner to resolve some 
serious bg on SVG managing and also to support better the SVG on
qgis-server.
These are all ok for us. We are happy to fund the resolution of these bugs.

And I suppose other public administration do as us.

Also we plan some other enhancement to QGIS.
(francly I guess it will be the last)

But I don't like to pay for something that is not interested for us.

I'm capable now to transform my server qgis in a compliant wms server.
I simpli remove the GetStyle and GetPrint from the getcapabilities response.
Is easy and cheap.

I guess the problem to move the GetStyle and GetPrint in an enhancement 
section of getcapabilites should be fund by
who has interest to have a compliant qgis-server but also interest to 
have and use a proprietary solution like GetPrint.

We are not interested to save the GetStyle and GetPrint.

Why I should pay someone else?
To do what I have just do ?

For who interest in my change to code it is easy.
in a unique file .c change three or four row of code and comment other 
7-8 row.

However I put the code sample in the ticket I opened yesterday .
So who interested find all on it.

regards,

Andrea.
