[mapserver-users] AJAX - GetFeatureInfo - Accent problem

[Daniel Morissette]

OOpps... sorry for responding to myself, but I just realized that you 
are using an HTML template for your GetFeatureInfo query and not GML. In 
this case the ows_encoding setting will have no effect. However you 
could and should set the encoding yourself in the header of the query 
template.
