[mapserver-users] MapServer 5.2.2 GetFeatureInfo returns an error - FIXED

Wed Apr 1 07:32:11 PDT 2009

Thank you, it is fixed now. My apologies that I missed this.
I added the magic string  to all the templates.

Is it possible to disable requests which have the server name as layers 
parameter in a getmap request? Our server is called ADAGUC_WMS_Server. 
Making a getmap request with this ID results in that all layers inside 
this service are drawn in the same image, causing a high load. We have 
many layers in our service. Of course some people want this feature, but 
we want to disable it. I cannot find out how to do it, I saw that it is 
possible to disable it for layers which are one level deeper (by using 
"wms_layer_group"), but not for the first one.
The same is questioned before on the mailinglist with subject 
"[mapserver-users] UMN MapServer - WMS GetCapabilities: Hide <name> 
element in top layer to prevent loading all layers at once"...

The problem is that users should only use the deepest layer names, not 
the group names, in a getmap request. The website 
http://www.geopole.org/wms/ does getmap requests with the server name in 
the layers parameters. This causes a high load because we have layers 
for each day.

Best regards,
Maarten Plieger
