problem with postGIS and WMS capabilities if wms_extent not defined

[Bart van den Eijnden]

Hi list,

I have a PostGIS layer in my MAP file and I am using the 4.4 beta2 windows
binary from maptools.org. I am on Windows 2000 server.

If I don't define a WMS_EXTENT in the METADATA section of my LAYER, I get
a crash of the WMS capabilities (only 4 Kb of normally 5 Kb is sent). If I
do define the WMS_EXTENT everything works fine.

The last part of the capabilities received is:
    ....
    <GetLegendGraphic>
      <Format>image/png</Format>
      <Format>image/gif</Format>
      <Format>image/jpeg</Format>
      <Format>image/wbmp</Format>
      <Format>application/x-shockwave-flash</Format>
      <Format>text/html</Format>
      <Format>application/x-pdf</Format>
      <Format>image/tiff</Format>
      <DCPType>
        <HTTP>
          <Get><OnlineResource xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"

          <Post><OnlineResource xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"

Is this a known issue with 4.4 beta2?

Best regards,
Bart
