[mapserver-users] wms getFeatureInfo

[John Hagstrand]

Peter,

Thank you very much for the reply.  I am doing the query on a polygon 
layer, and my request looks like yours.  Did you also have to do something 
in your mapfile?  If not, then how do you tell mapserver what info to 
return to a getFeatureInfo request?

Thanks,
John
