[mapserver-users] Getcapabilities mime-type

[Carmen Delia Hernández Pérez]

Thank you, but then for example  these WMS services that I write don´t follow the OGC WMS ? When I do the request GetCapabilites to these services My web browser show me the answer directly.

See http://www.mapserver.org/faq.html#when-i-do-a-getcapabilities-why-does-my-browser-want-to-download-mapserv-exe-mapserv 

You _could_ write a MapScript WxS wrapper to change the MIME type when GetCapabilities is called, but note that you would be breaking OGC WMS support.
