[mapserver-users] Two questions about WMS and outputformats

[Yewondwossen Assefa]

Hi,

There was a ticket opened for that years ago with a path to implement
it, but was never addressed:
  (http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/455)
It seems to be less controversial in functionality than the recent
"Hiding/Enabling/Ignoring Layers in OGC Web Services" thread, but
introduces another  new metadata and that by it self may be 
controversial.  I am willing to provide a patch for now following what 
is discussed in the bug and depending on how the OGC metadata 
organization evolves in the coming months, we would adapt that patch. 
Please add yourself in cc to this bug.

Best Regards
