[mapserver-users] Limiting WMS GetFeatureInfo response

[Steve Lime]

Not at the moment. I don't recall seeing that level of control in the WMS spec or I imagine it would already have been added. The DUMP parameter is there simply to prevent wholesale download of the raw data (i.e. coordinate data). It has no effect otherwise.

Is there a way to specify which attributes should be returned
on a WMS GetFeatureInfo request?
I am currently using the 3.5 Mapserver release.

The support that I have found is:
DUMP=false stops attributes from being shown when the request
is for GML but not when the request is for something else
(plain text return).

Perhaps a mapserver "wms-tag" would do, something like:
 "ms-wms-public_attributes" "Name, Hair Color, Job"
