[mapserver-users] high quality print from external wms

[Bart van den Eijnden]

Marco,

this is not exactly right.

Only WMS 1.3 has elements in the GetCapabilities response to advertize this limit (MaxWidth and MaxHeight). WMS 1.1.X did not have this mechanism.

You are using MS 5.1, and there is no WMS 1.3 support in that version. So it's logical that Mapserver can't advertize those limits in WMS 1.1.X.

Best regards,
Bart
