SLD and ExternalGraphic formats

[Kralidis,Tom [Burlington]]

Sorry about that.  Wrong server I'm testing.  The server in question is using 4.6.1, so I'll wait for an upgrade from them.
 
Thanks
 
..Tom

	Assefa,
	
	I'm using latest CVS, so I'm guessing it should have the fix, but I get the behaviour as per below.

	        Tom,
	       
	          This was a fixed before the 4.8 release ((Bug 1430). Could you confirm
	        that the server is running that version at least ?
	       
	        Later,
