[Qgis-user] qgis-server vs layer id

[Nathan Woodrow]

Hey Burghardt,

As a workaround for now it's pretty easy to read the xml file and replace
the layer ids using Python.  QGIS doesn't care about the format of the id
as long as it's a strings so you could replace them all with a GUID if you
wanted.
