[mapserver-dev] RFC 67 - Enable/Disable Layers in OGC Web Services

[Kralidis,Tom [Ontario]]

Alan et. Al: thanks for this comments.  Comments:

- I imagine, in addition to request handling, that this would be handled
accordingly in GetCapabilities responses (i.e. we wouldn't write out
GetFeatureInfo as an operation if "wms_enable_request"
"!GetFeatureInfo")

- do/will we allow disabling of GetCapabilities requests?  I think
GetCapabilities would be vital in any use case, in terms of advertising
a server's info and supported operations

- I think, to be consistent with existing behaviour, that all OWS
services should be enabled by default, and that it would be up to the
user to explicitly disable them if they want to.  This will break every
mapfile from an OWS perspective
