[mapserver-users] Problem with WMS Request through Mapserver

[Yewondwossen Assefa]

Hi There,

Maybe you could do a GetCapabilities request on the WMS server and see 
what are the types of exceptions that are supported by the server. It 
might support other exceptions than the application/vnd.ogc.se_inimage. 
if that is the case, you can set a layer level metadata called 
ows_exception to the one that is supported. Something like:
   METADATA
    "ows_exception" "supported_exception"
    ...
   END

best regards,
