[mapserver-users] MapServer on OS X - getcababilities no xml output?

[Asle Benoni]

Hello,
Forgive me if I mix up things here since I am new to MapServer. I have
MapServer installed on OS X Server 10.5 and have also some problems with
GeoServer and requests . So I wondered if this could have something to do
with MapServer. Not really sure. I can show .map in OpenLayers with no
problem but am trying to use MapServer as a WFS service.  On the OpenLayers
and MapFish lists I am recommended to use "new OpenLayers.Layer.WFS ..."
instead of  "...new OpenLayers.Layer.MapServer". But I am a bit confused. I
want to use my .map file in OpenLayers and MapFish.

When I use this URL

http://localhost/cgi-bin/demo?request=getcapabilities&service=wms&version=1.1.1&map=/Library/WebServer/Documents/Naturkart/kulturminnekart/apps/demo/demowms.map

I get a file downloaded "demo.map" with no file type. This is on Windows and
from my Mac (demo without the .map extension and
fileType:*application/vnd.ogc.wms_xml
*). The file is an XML file so when I change the suffix to .xml it works. Is
this correct?

Is MapServer out-of-the-box a WFS service?
