<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">For any map, to get a visual image, the type of image must be specified in the URL to the server with e.g. FORMAT=image/jpeg<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">For the osm.qgs example map from the documentation, I must specify LAYERS=OSM for any data to be returned.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">For the world.qgs project, only the FORMAT=image/jpeg was required to make it work as the LAYERS=countries is already part of the suggested URL and thus tested by me initially.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
