[mapserver-users] WMS Client

[Paul Ramsey]

In answer to my own question: it appears that the WMS Client does not
like image/jpeg as a format at all. When using image/png, things work,
although the mapping from 24-8bit color is atrocious. Using image/gif
gives a perfectly reasonable result. I assume if the png was 8 bit the
results would be equally satisfactory.
