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

[Yewondwossen Assefa]

Alexandre,

  I have opened a bug on it http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/2908) 
with a patch. Can you please try the patch and see if it fixes your problem?

Thanks

  PS Another note is I think $oLayer->setConnectionType  return 0 on 
success.

Best Regards,
