MapServer & IWS 8.0 : Connectiontype WMS

[Chris Tweedie]

There has been various discussions on this issue but looks like it still hasnt been resolved.

Fabio, the fix is minor and requires switching some boolean flags to false on the parameters (to stop the unnecessary encoding)

If you take a look at mapwms.c its fairly straight forward to resolve and is about 3 line changes. From memory the BBOX, Styles and Layers parameter definately need to be changed to false

Regards,

Chris Tweedie
