#2053: WMS GETFEATUREINFO does not work with Gaia

   Priority:  low            |   Milestone:       
  Component:  WMS Interface  |     Version:  2.4.0

 If you use Gaia to do a WMS GETFEATUREINFO for any layer served via WMS,
 it will return back the following response:

 {{{
 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
 <ServiceExceptionReport version="1.3.0"
    xmlns="http://www.opengis.net/ogc"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.opengis.net/ogc
 http://schemas.opengis.net/wms/1.3.0/exceptions_1_3_0.xsd">
  <ServiceException code="MissingInfoFormat">
   The request must contain an INFO_FORMAT parameter to specify the format
 of feature information (MIME type).
  </ServiceException>
 </ServiceExceptionReport>
 }}}

 This is because the GetFeatureInfo requests sent from Gaia does not
 contain the INFO_FORMAT parameter.

 If we take Gaia's word for it (being a correct WMS client), this would
 imply that if an INFO_FORMAT parameter is not specified in the
 GetFeatureInfo request, then a default value should be provided (text/xml
 ?)
