[MapServer-users] How do I get rid of the WMS option?

[Seth G]

Hi,

I don't think GetMetadata is specific to WMS, but is common to all the WxS services. 
It should have been possible to disable it using something like the following in METADATA, but after a quick look at the code it doesn't appear to be implemented:

"ows_enable_request" "* !GetMetadata"

MapServer only generates XML. If you want to use another format the following METADATA should work:

"ows_metadataurl_href" "http://example.com/my.json"

Maybe the following also disables it?

"ows_metadataurl_href" "" # try a blank URL?
