[OpenLayers-Users] difference between OpenLayers.Layer.WMS and OpenLayers.Layer.MapServer?

[Guillaume Sueur]

Hi,

The first one uses WMS and the second one is directly hitting the
mapfile. For performance, security, robustness and so I would suggest to
use WMS, but if you don't care about all these (and you can) just use
.MapServer and use it like your old cgi buddy !

Regards

Guillaume
