[Geomoose-users] Unsupported output format (image/png;bits=8)

Hello Brent,

I tried but I get the same error:
"msWMSLoadGetMapParams(): Image handling error. Unsupported output format
(image/png;bits=8)."

Maybe it has something to do with how MapSever was installed. I'll try the
mailing list over there to find a way to solve this.
