[mapserver-users] Mapserver as WMS client, legend pass-through . . .

[Barend Köbben]

Hi,

In the "WMS world" you get a legend by requesting it with a
GetLegendGraphic request, something like:

http://geoserver.itc.nl/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=D:/Inetpub/mapserver/config
OL.map&SERVICE=WMS&REQUEST=GetLegendGraphic&VERSION=1.1.1&FORMAT=image/png&
LAYER=forest

And you can do this for any of let LAYERs you have in you MAP file...

Barend
