[mapserver-users] Define an End-Time attribute in WMS Time

[Andrea Peri]

I see it.

You have right infact I could define something like:

wms_dimensionlist: = start_date, end_date
wms_start_date_item= time
wms_end_date_item= time
wms_start_date_extent= "1900/01/01"
wms_end_date_extent= "2999/01/01"
wms_start_date_default=current
wms_end_date_default=current

This could be a solution on wms server side, but on client side it
need to have a wms client able to understant wms-dimension.
Actually my client interface is able to recognize and use a wms-time
but not able to recognize and use correctly a wms-dimensional from
getcapabilities.
:(
