<map request copy> is not a name/value pair like the other parameters. =
Instead, most of
the GetMap request parameters that generated the original map are =
repeated. Two are
omitted because GetFeatureInfo provides its own values: VERSION and =
REQUEST. The
remainder of the GetMap request shall be embedded contiguously in the =
GetFeatureInfo
request.

All,

Why is the LAYERS paremeter part of the WMS GetFeatureInfo request =
required?
I think from looking at the WMS spec that it is optional, although this is
based on just a quick look through the specs. Right now, ArcGIS WMS does =
not
send the LAYERS parameter and therefore can't query a Mapserver WMS map. =
Is
Mapserver being overly restrictive or ArcGIS not fully following the spec?
