[Fwd: Re: [Context.RWG] why is FormatList optional?]

[Bart van den Eijnden (OSGIS)]

This has some consequences for Mapserver WMS client running from a WMC 
document.

Currently, no GetCapabilities request is used/needed, but for instance 
Ionic exports WMC documents without a FormatList, so Mapserver WMS 
client cannot use them.

This response on the Context.RWG list seems to indicate a WMS client 
would need to do an extra GetCapabilities request in order to solve this 
....

Why are things made so difficult and inefficient ...... :-(

Best regards,
Bart
