[Mapserver-users] MapServer 4.01 - unreadable error messages

[thelen at ccgis.de]

Hi all,

Actually according to the OGC specs mapserver should have used
"EXCEPTIONS=application/vnd.ogc.se_xml" as a default value if no other is
supplied. 3.6.x did, mapserver 4.x not. Is there a special reason for this
change?


Regards,
Benjamin
