[mapserver-users] Hiding scale dependant layers in WMS GetCapabilities

[Jan Hartmann]

Got a solution for this question from an answer by Flavio Hendry on the 
German mailing list to a slightly different question: use UNION layers, 
a "new and exciting" (indeed!) item of MapServer 6. Just add 
"ows_enable_request" "!GetCapabilities" to the WMS metatdata of layers 
you want to hide, create a single UNION layer with all those layers in 
the "connection" , and set that layer's metadata to "ows_enable_request" "*"
