[mapserver-users] What to do with WMS 1.3.0 and axis order of EPSG:2393?

[Yewondwossen Assefa]

Hi Jukka,

  Issues that you raise here are discussed in the following bugs (as a 
reference):
    http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/3582
  http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/3576

I think the idea of using ogr/gdal to reliably get the axis order is for 
may the best option. In that case when we use wms1.3.0 and up, wfs 1.1 
and up we always know that the axis order are the same regardless of the 
format in which the epsg is given.

regards,
