[mapserver-users] Encoding problems in GetCapabilities-document with WMS_VERSION 1.3.0

[Stefan Schantz]

Hi,
I am running Mapserver 5.6.5.
If I request the GetCapabilities with WMS_VERSION 1.1.1, I get a 
XML-Document encoding "UTF-8" and the German Umlaute like üäö and so on 
are shown correctly.
---------------------------
<?xml version='1.0' encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no" ?>
<!DOCTYPE WMT_MS_Capabilities SYSTEM 
"http://schemas.opengis.net/wms/1.1.1/WMS_MS_Capabilities.dtd"
[
<!ELEMENT VendorSpecificCapabilities EMPTY>
]> <!-- end of DOCTYPE declaration -->

<WMT_MS_Capabilities version="1.1.1">

But if I change the request to WMS-VERSION 1.3.0 , my browser shows an 
error "xml not well formed" and the German Umlaute are not correct.

Is there anything I can do?

Thanks!
