[mapserver-users] cascading wms and layer names encoding

[duartecarreira]

Jukka, thanks for your reply.

Some wms clients do not use the title from layers. They only show the name
(eg qgis). 

As it stands, my wms server creates wms layers names automatically from my
map project, either as a numeric sequence (0,1,2...) or the same string as
the title. (have you guessed which server it is?)
So I was trying to show qgis users something more meaningful than numbers.
And at the same time I was using MapServer to coalesce several layers into
one meaningful single layer, since WMC is so rarelly supported... this way
my users don't have to look at a list of layers and figure out which should
be used together to have a readable map. Since wms services are expensive in
server resources I tend to publish several layers in each one.

So I guess I'll show layers named as numbers and leave it at that...

Duarte
