Blank WCS

[Bart van den Eijnden (OSGIS)]

Mapserver WCS needs more info/metadata for tileindex layers, see the 
comments at the end of:

http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/WCSServerFormatHowTo/?searchterm=WCS

Btw, the best way to check is start with the GetCapabilities response 
for WCS.

Best regards,
Bart
