[mapserver-dev] Overwrite Extent for WMS

[Daniel Morissette]

Hi Fabian,

I didn't setup a testcase to try to reproduce this, but the code should 
take the layer "wms|ows_extent" metadata in priority even for rasters, 
so I do not understand what is happening. (i.e. mapwms.c will call 
msOWSGetLayerExtent() for any layer type, which looks up the metadata 
first and should fall back on calling msLayerGetExtent() -> 
msRASTERLayerGetExtent() only if metadata is not set.)

You didn't specify which version of MapServer you are using. Hopefully 
it's 6.2 or a more recent dev snapshot.

All this to say that you may have hit a bug that should be investigated.

Daniel
