[mapserver-users] GetCapabilities response being truncated

[John Callahan]

Update:  I should rephrase my statements...

When run from the command line, c:\apache2.2\cgi-bin\mapserv 
"QUERY_STRING=map=...REQUEST=GetCapabilities" only works when output is 
to the screen. 

When directing the output to a file, like c:\apache2.2\cgi-bin\mapserv 
"QUERY_STRING=map=...REQUEST=GetCapabilities" > geomap.xml, then the 
output is again truncated. 

The limit is not 4053 characters but rather 4096 characters.  At least 
the number makes more sense.

Using MapServer 5.4.1, x64 in Windows 2008 Server.   More details on the 
environment is:
