How to render a layer with HTML/JS with MapServer 4.4.0 (configuration problem)

[Bart van den Eijnden]

Hi,

the support is probably still in there, but some changes were done to the
formats that a WMS GetCapabilities response outputs. There is no current
mechanism to define (as a user) your own output formats for WMS.

Do you get an exception when you ask for format=text/html in 4.4?

See:
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=455
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1072

Best regards,
Bart
