[Mapserver-users] MapServer passes 82/83 tests of the OGC WMS testsuite

[Bart van den Eijnden]

Hi Daniel,

great news! I think a lot of people out there will be thankful for this.

Does this include the testing of the optional GetFeatureInfo interface?

I agree with Tom that it would be the best to have Mapserver officially 
certified, since Mapserver is now so close to this.

Does anybody know if there is a public list of WMS servers which have 
passed all tests and have been certified?

Best regards,
Bart
