[mapguide-users] how to refresh a WMS service?

[Bart van den Eijnden (OSGIS)]

Thanks for your quick response!

That seems a bit unwanted if you have a webserver hosting many sites or not?

Is there no flush command for the mapagent? If not, I think it would be 
a welcome enhancement, something like:

http://127.0.0.1:8008/mapguide/mapagent/mapagent.fcgi?cmd=flush

Best regards,
Bart
