Hi Richard!

(Nice to see you active here too ;-))

Yes! I did it!

I appreciate the effort you and Bart put in helping me, I didn't succeed 
at first, but you kept me triggered!

I have added the missing metadata you provided to my LAYER in the mapfile.
I have no template file, instead I just state TEMPLATE 'ttt' as Bart 
said, this works.

I think it mainly had to do with the call to mapserver getting doubled 
by what I did and what flamingo adds itself.
I added query_layers="percelen" to the flamingo fmc:OGWMSLayer clause. 
After that I stripped the default parameters that I attached to the URL
(I had these already in my URL call: 
....&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetMap&SRS=EPSG:4326&TRANSPARENT=TRUE&BGCOLOR=0xF0F0F0&")
and then it worked!
