[mapserver-users] problem with mercator projection

[fred p]

Hello !

I am trying to serve an image in Mercator projection (EPSG:3395) with an
extent larger than "360° in longitude" but I get a truncated and reversed in
longitude image.
Do I make a mistake somewhere?
Thanks for your help

The mapfile content and the gdalinfo output on the original image are given
below.
