[mapserver-users] WMS identify within ArcGIS

[Rahkonen Jukka]

Hi,

Info_format does not have (much) to do with the information Mapserver sends. It is true that if mapfile is configured to send no attributes with GetFeatureInfo responses it is still sending the feature number if user makes a request with text/plain but not with other formats (someone correct me if I am wrong). Configuring GetFeatureInfo is a bit tricky in Mapserver because all the formats text/plain, text/html, and gml need a bit different manouvres.

It seems that ArcMap only supports text/plain output for WMS info_format
even when requested otherwise.  To my knowledge this format does not
return attribute values but simply feature numbers (someone correct me
if I am wrong).  I have a support call into ESRI even as we speak so I
will pass that information along when I get it.

 

Till later,

Hello,

I am trying to set up Mapserver as a WMS server.  Currently I can draw
maps.  However, I am having trouble getting the server to support
Identify, specifically within ArcGIS.

Does anyone have an example map file and template that allows WMS
Identify in ArcGIS.

Thank You
