[mapserver-dev] setConnectionType(MS_WMS) doesn't work

[Alexandre Dube]

Hi Assefa,

  I already set the type to raster before the call.  See my code snippet 
(1).

  I attached the mapfile (mamap.map) my mapObject outputs.  As you can 
see, both LAYER they don't have a CONNECTIONTYPE set.  If I add it 
there, I get my images.

  Thanks a lot for your help,

Alexandre

(1) php mapscript snippet
=======================
    $oLayer = ms_newLayerObj($oMap);
    $oLayer->set("name", $szLayer);
    $oLayer->set("type", MS_LAYER_RASTER);
    $oLayer->set("status", MS_ON);
    $oLayer->set("connection", $szURL);
    //$oLayer->set("connectiontype", MS_WMS);
    $nStatus = $oLayer->setConnectionType(MS_WMS);
    //$oLayer->setConnectionType(8);
    if ($nStatus){
        echo "ok";
    } else {   
        echo "error"; // <=== it always echoes "error"
    }

    $oLayer->set("debug", 5);

    $oLayer->setMetaData("wms_name", $szLayer);
    $oLayer->setMetaData("wms_server_version", "1.1.1");
    $oLayer->setMetaData("wms_srs", $szSRS);
    $oLayer->setMetaData("wms_format", $szFormat);
