[Mapserver-users] Re: [wms-dev] Legend problem in WMS service

Hi,

I am forwarding your message to the Mapserver User list as I assume this
was your intention.

With regard to the Legend. Are you trying to use:
1) GetLegendGraphic (SLD WMS) or
2) LegendURL

LegendURL is not supported by Mapserver at the moment as far as I know,
and I don't know if GetLegendGraphic is implemented or is going to be
implemented. Perhaps DM Solutions can comment on this part more.

If I understand correctly you define a PROJECTION in your MAP file which
does not have an associated EPSG code? What kind of WMS client are you
using to visualize your maps? The client can use a BBOX in its WMS request
to define which extent it wants to zoom in to. Normally the EXTENT in the
MAP file determines server-side what the extent is, but I don't think this
will influence the WMS interface of Mapserver. Can you shed some more
light on your problem?

Best regards,
Bart
