[mapserver-users] configuring WCS

[David Hildebrand]

Thanks, Frank.  The documentation states that they values are
comma-separated but for WMS and WFS they are space-delimited.  The
documentation needs to be changed.

David,

The *_extent metadata item needs four space separated values in the
value string - minx miny maxx maxy.  I presume you don't have it setup
properly.

It may well be that the WMS and WFS services don't actually use the
extent
so the WCS service is the first thing to error out.  It is unfortunate
about
it being reported as a WMS error, but at that level of the code it is
hard
to know the context of the request.

Best regards,
