[mapserver-users] How do a GetFeaureInfo on vector layer but showing raster layer ?

[Lime, Steve D (MNIT)]

Unfortunately you probably have to use mod_rewrite. It is possible to use MapServer to use its standard template processing to forward the query for a layer to another URL  or to use hidden layers and templates but to do so you have to be able to set the info_format to be used for the GetInfoRequest and it doesn’t appear that’s possible from QGIS – it always sets info_format=text/plain. If that’s not the case let me know and I can provide details on the MapServer-only methods.

Subject: [mapserver-users] How do a GetFeaureInfo on vector layer but showing raster layer ?

Hi,
I would like to show with QGIS the attribute of a vector layer when I request for information in a raster layer. Raster layer is an image from wms service that also provides the vector layer.

I have tried to solve the problem defining a GROUP layer but QGIS doesn't recognize layers in a group as queryable although each of them is queryable. This topic is well described here: https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/mapserver-users/2012-July/072892.html

I have also test apache rewrite_rules following this link:
https://github.com/mapserver/mapserver/issues/3310

I have a very little knowledge of mapserver but I guess the solution is using rewrite rules. The most examples I have found are about clean url, but I am looking for redirection from one map file to another.

The idea is to get attribute information from vector layer when user request for information in a raster image loaded from wms service in QGIS.
Is this possible ? Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you in advance !
Anne
