schemas.opengeospatial.net has been shutdown, use schemas.opengis.net instead

If you are running OGC Web Services (WMS, WFS, etc.) based on MapServer 
and started getting reports from your users that your service suddenly 
stopped working with some WMS/WFS clients, then this may be because 
schemas.opengeospatial.net has been shutdown recently (see bug 1873). 
This was the schema repository that MapServer was using by default since 
version 4.4.

Future releases of MapServer will be fixed to use the (new?) official 
OGC schema repository at schemas.opengis.net by default. In the 
meantime, if you are still running older versions of MapServer, you can 
work around the issue by setting the ows_schemas_location web metadata 
in your mapfile:

   MAP
     ...
     WEB
       METADATA
          "ows_schemas_location" "http://schemas.opengis.net"
       END
       ...
     END
     ...
   END
