Steve,

I just wanted to confirm that I was able to have two different PNG variations
configured on a server and select on them based on different mime types.

In the .map file I have:

OUTPUTFORMAT
   NAME png
   DRIVER "GD/PNG"
   IMAGEMODE PC256
   TRANSPARENT OFF
END

OUTPUTFORMAT
   NAME png24
   DRIVER "GD/PNG"
   IMAGEMODE RGBA
   MIMETYPE "image/png;depth=24"
END

And in the WMS 1.1 request I just included FORMAT=image/png;depth=24 to get
the second or FORMAT=image/png to get the first.  They both showed up distinctly
in the WMS capabilities document.

Now, I don't think I am using the right syntax for the parameters.  You will
have to dig up the other email on the topic to get the details on the suggested
mime type format.

Best regards,
