[gdal-dev] WMS problem

Michele,

I've created a Trac ticket for the inconsistency between the code and 
the documentation. See http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/3299

You're welcome to share your files. I think the best way would be for 
you to create a WMS page in the wiki and reference it under the "File 
formats" paragraph of http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/UserDocs. We might 
then add a link from the http://www.gdal.org/frmt_wms.html page to the 
wiki page.

Best regards,

Even
