GetFeatureInfo still not working

Tue Apr 11 07:16:31 EDT 2006

Correction to my last remark, you can have text/html as WMS GetFeatureInfo
output but then you need to explicitly specify this (like you already did
in your example ofcourse :-) ):

wms_feature_info_mime_type "text/html"

I didn't know that one .....

Sorry for the confusion.

Best regards,
Bart
