[OpenLayers-Users] Re: WMSGetFeatureInfo - slow response in IE8 and 9

Hi,

the problem is that IE does validate the XML against the DTD, which
other browsers don't. And that DTD seems to be unreachable. A good
solution would be for the server to not specify a doctype (or only
<!DOCTYPE html) for the GetFeatureInfo response. I'm not that familiar
with MapServer, but I'm sure you can configure the GetFeatureInfo
template and get rid of that doctype.

Andreas.
