[mapserver-users] Corrupted PNG issue

[Steve Lime]

Hmmm... I've not run into or heard of this before although I'm not a
windows user. I did a quick sanity check with a mapfile here and the latest
7.4 and 7.6 versions. While not exactly the same setup you have in terms of
versions, they produce the exact same png image.

What do you get for output if you use mapserv.exe at the command line? So
something like:

  mapserv.exe -nh "QUERY_STRING=
map=dynamic\5708d96b-c606-4c35-95e7-085fedc1dcce.map&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.3.0&REQUEST=GetMap&FORMAT=image%2Fpng&TRANSPARENT=true&LAYERS=MAP&TILED=true&WIDTH=512&HEIGHT=512&CRS=EPSG%3A3857&STYLES=&BBOX=-10877294.873093722%2C5536486.832751887%2C-10876071.880641159%2C5537709.82520445"
> test.png

That would take PostMan and the web server out of the picture. Is there any
chance different versions of libpng are being used? What are you using to
manage the tiles?
