[mapserver-users] How Interval is defined for WMS-T

[thomas bonfort]

Even,
I'm not sure I agree with your conclusion.

I think the intention would be to write

timecol between time0 and time0+resolution

which translates to:

time0<=timecol<=time0+resolution

whereas we want:

time0<=timecol<time0+resolution

thus the hack to use time0+resolution-1second which is clearly incorrect
when the desired resolution is the second (and somewhat incorrect for the
other resolutions)


I'd say this is a bug.
