[mapserver-users] WMS format=application/openlayers and following image/svg+xml requests

[Rahkonen Jukka]

Hi,

I can see from the logs that if application/openlayers is selected as WMS outputformat, the simple OpenLayers client will repeat the GetMap request with outputformat image/svg+xml.  This works fine and fast with close zoom but leads to time out when zoomed to full extents. Obviously converting thousands of objects into SVG vectors is too heavy operation. Is there some big advantage in having the Simple client to ask for image/svg+xml format instead of, for example, image/png?  Is there some easy way to change this setting?

It would be also nice if the Simple client would keep the WMS vendor parameters if the original GetMap contains such.
