[mapserver-users] How to get a single-part ASCII Grid result from WCS

[Rahkonen Jukka (MML)]

Hi,

I have been trying to configure a GDAL AAIGrid outputformat for WCS 2.0. The format works, but I can only get the response as a mime multipart attachment.  I would like to get just the ASCII grid part as simple text.  I can see that with the OGR outputformats https://mapserver.org/output/ogr_output.html the FORM option can be used:

"FORM=simple/zip/multipart
Indicates whether the result should be a simple single file (simple), a mime multipart attachment (multipart) or a zip file (zip). "zip" is the default."

FORM=simple is what I would like to have and FORM=zip might be acceptable. But unfortunately it seems that FORM is not supported for GDAL raster drivers. Could anybody suggest a good workaround?

My outputformat with FORM experiments looks like this

OUTPUTFORMAT
NAME AAIGRID
DRIVER "GDAL/AAIGRID"
#MIMETYPE "application/x-ascii-grid"
MIMETYPE "text/plain"
IMAGEMODE FLOAT32
EXTENSION "txt"
FORMATOPTION "SIGNIFICANT_DIGITS=5"
FORMATOPTION "FORM=simple"
FORMATOPTION "FILENAME=result.txt"
END

and the response, that my MS4W server sends named as "mapserv.exe" looks like this

Content-ID: coverage/result.txt
