Hi everybody
I wanted to test the time support functionality of WCS but this seems
not to be working. There is an older bug report at
http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/1856
but it seems this has not been fixed yet.
I use a PostGIS table to store the tileindex for the time series and as
mentioned in the bug report there is still a wrong filter applied to the
tileindex. Did anybody already try if the fix suggested in the ticket
will work?
In addition, the time support of WCS does not have a time *range*
similar to WMS-T "ows_timeextent" like
"ows_timeextent" "2006-01-01/2006-06-01"
WCS requires to list every single date of the available coverages under
"wcs_timeposition" which is not very feasible for longer time series.
The bug report at Ticket #2487
http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/2487
lists this problem as fixed, but when I use
"wcs_timeposition" "2006-01-01/2006-06-01"
and request a coverage with a parameter '&TIME=2006-05-11', with
MapServer v5.2 I still get the exception
...
WCS server error. The coverage does not have a time position of
2006-05-11.
...
Any idea if the definition has to be set in another way?
Best regards
Armin
