[mapserver-users] EXTENT in LAYER definition not clipping

[John Cartwright]

Hello All,

I have  a LAYER definition which includes the EXTENT keyword (see except
below) because I want to limit the area in which data are displayed
regardless of the extent of the request. 

It seems that with a WMS request this limit is being ignored and the
data matching the requested BBOX is displayed instead.  This is version
mapserver 5.6.3, can someone please point out what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks!
