To Who it may concern:
 
I am a thesis student at WSP Sweden. Temporarily, we at WSP Sweden are trying to consider alternative map servers to ArcIMS. And we think that MapServer may be a good option. Nevertheless, We have a requirement list regarding functionalities that a map server should provide (see the table). Since we are new to Mapserver, we are not sure whether MapServer offers these functionalities. Can you please check this list and tell us what functionalities that MapServer is capable of doing?
 
Thank you. 
Best Regards
Scarlett Jiang
