[mapserver-users] Disable automatic metadata in MapServer 7.2

Fri Oct 19 05:56:34 PDT 2018

Hi,

Our Mapserver 7.2.0 is running on Linux and that does not write metadata links to GetCapabilities. I just wrote and tested that simplistic mapfile for the states shapefile on my own Windows computer.  Did you already adapt my  mapfile for your environment and test how GetCapabilities look with it?

Hi Jukka,

I'm not using MS4W, as per your example map file, could that be the difference between our implementations?

I realise too looking at the MapServer documentation https://mapserver.org/ogc/layer_metadata.html that one way around the problem would be to edit the generated metadata to a static file, then add a formal XML metadata link to the edited static content.

Hi James,

Could you make one more test by using the "states.shp" file from the Geoserver demo data and with this mapfile:

MAP
NAME "METADATATEST"
SIZE 800 800
EXTENT -180 -90 180 90
UNITS DD
IMAGECOLOR 20 250 250
SHAPEPATH "c:\ms4w\tmp"
IMAGETYPE "png"
WEB
    METADATA
        "ows_enable_request" "*"
        "wms_srs" "EPSG:4326"
        "wms_onlineresource" "http://localhost:8060/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?"
    END
END
# DEBUG 5
CONFIG "PROJ_LIB" "C:/ms4w/proj/nad"
CONFIG "CPL_DEBUG" "ON"
CONFIG "MS_ERRORFILE" "c:/ms4w/tmp/debug.txt"
PROJECTION
"init=epsg:4326"
END

LAYER
NAME "states"
STATUS ON
DATA "c:\ms4w\apps\states"
TYPE POLYGON
PROJECTION
       "init=epsg:4326"
END
METADATA
      "wms_title"         "states
      "wms_srs"           "EPSG:4326"
END
    CLASS
        STYLE
            COLOR 100 200 100
            OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0
        END
    END
END
END

Do you still see the metadata links? If you do feel free to include this mapfile and test data into the GitHub issue.

Hi Jukka,

I disabled the INSPIRE content in my service and I still have the generated metadata sections like below in my layers.

<MetadataURL type="ISOTC211/19115">
<Format>text/xml</Format>
<OnlineResource xlink:type="simple" xlink:href="http://ogc2.bgs.ac.uk/cgi-bin/UGA_ARGI/ows?language=eng&request=GetMetadata&layer=RAILWAY"/>
</MetadataURL>

Hi James,

I do not have INSPIRE configurations set and I do not have any metadata links in the body of GetCapabilities.
Without reading the code we can't know if adding INSPIRE stuff adds also something to the body. Fortunately it is easy to test by commenting out everything that seems to relate to INSPIRE in your mapfile. Or write a new as-simple-as-possible mapfile and see how it behaves.

So I do have INSPIRE configurations set, but the links I refer to are in the body of GetCapabilities response not the INSPIRE extended capabilities section.

Hi,

I do not see any metadata links at all in our WMS services made with Mapserver 7.2.0 and I have certainly not disabled them in any way.  I guess that something that you have done has enabled those. Have you played for example with some Inspire configurations?

Is it possible to disable/prevent the automatically created ISO metadata links appearing in WMS GetCapabilities response?

The reason for asking is that at the moment these created links are making the GetCapabilities response invalid.

Thanks
