Retrieve swf(or other vector based format) by using wms

[Eduard Witteveen]

First of all let me rephrase the bugs you gave me:

Too much format's can cause certain clients to stop working with 
mapserver, after which only the gd / gdal are exposed by mapserver.

The documentation was updated with the information that only the formats 
gd and gdal are advertised (and by looking at the source code supported 
during the getmap request)

[1] This still leave's me with the question, is there a way to retrieve 
a single layer in *any* vector format, preferable a swf movie?

Currently i've been hacking around and I'm now retrieving multilayer 
swf's from wms.
My goal is to enable output of single layer raster and vector based swf 
files (the one's generated in the temp directory, and which are used in 
the multilayer movie)

[2] Should i change the mapwms.c so it also supports swf(what should i 
use as format-parameter, the outputformat name?)
or should i implement the wms by using mapscript/php(OWSRequest)


ps: I changed the topic, so it reads the correct subject ;)
