[mapserver-users] JSON template dependencies

[Richard Greenwood]

I've been struggling with the JSON template errors described in my April 3
email below. Initially I was blaming it on different computers. Now I think
it is related to the MIMETYPE in the OUTPUTFORMAT block. This block fails
with "Malformed template name (dummy)"

OUTPUTFORMAT
  NAME "geojson"
  DRIVER "TEMPLATE"
  MIMETYPE 'application/json; subtype=geojson'
  FORMATOPTION "FILE=templates/json.js"
END

this block works (mimetype is removed)

OUTPUTFORMAT
  NAME "geojson"
  DRIVER "TEMPLATE"
  FORMATOPTION "FILE=templates/json.js"
END

I'm still not 100% sure that I have this backed into a corner yet.

So is
   MIMETYPE 'application/json; subtype=geojson'
incorrect? I've tried various other mimetypes to specify JSON output and
all fail, however "text/html" works.

I don't understand the relationship between mimetype and a "Malformed
template name". Why do I get that error for an invalid mimetype?

Thanks,
Rich
