[mapguide-users] Using GetFeatureInfo on MapGuide layers via WMS

[Zac Spitzer]

Ok, I have had a look thru trac and there doesn't seem to be complete
coverage of
WMS problems.

http://trac.osgeo.org/mapguide/query?status=new&status=assigned&status=reopened&status=closed&verbose=1&component=WMS+Interface&order=priority

The best way to get this address is to file an easily reproduceable bug

for this i would recommend using the sheboygan sample dataset which we
all know and love and then file some WMS calls against this dataset
which are failing in the bug report

http://trac.osgeo.org/mapguide/ticket/225
is a good example, nice and simple to reproduce and it got fixed

http://trac.osgeo.org/mapguide/ticket/148
isn't such a good example and is still open

There is a fine art to filing bugs, I hope these examples help
