[mapserver-users] WMS 1.3.0 questions

Hi All,

I tried to look for an answer to the question "what do I have to do to 
get MapServer to serve a 1.3.0 WMS by default" and I haven't found yet.  
Is there anything to do in the mapfile per se or is it just by the 
virtue of having a version >= 5.4 ?  I thought the latter but then I 
tried things like :

http://toMapserv.cgi?...REQUEST=GetMap&VERSION=1.3.0&CRS=EPSG%3A42304&BBOX=-5175875.27581...&WIDTH=1605&HEIGHT=316

and

http://toMapserv.cgi?...REQUEST=GetMap&VERSION=1.1.1&CRS=EPSG%3A42304&BBOX=-5175875.27581...&WIDTH=1605&HEIGHT=316

and wondered if I'm getting back the response from a 1.3.0 in the first 
case and a 1.1.1 in the second case.  Both images were the same, so I 
thought everything was fine until I tried an unexisting version number 
(e.g. 1.1.122) and still got back an image !

The only error message that made me think MS was indeed looking at the 
version number is when I submitted VERSION=abc.  then MS complained it 
wanted "x.y" or "x.y.z".  So how can I tell I get a real WMS with my 
specified version number instead of what appears to be a default one ?

Doc pointers appreciated.

Yves
