[mapserver-users] Layer specific encoding - GetFeatureInfo

[Daniel Morissette]

There is no direct support for this in MapServer yet, but there is a 
ticket with a possible patch attached to it at:

http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/4028

There was also a discussion about a tighter integration (not limited to 
WFS) of this type of encoding support in MapServer at the code sprint in 
Denver, but I don't think anyone has followed up with an implementation yet.
