Description
Currently there is no way to control which attributes are output in the text/plain GetFeatureInfo output. By default all fields are always returned. We need to add a mechanism to specify which fields to output, I propose to use a mechanism similar to what we have for GML (see bug 950 comment 16): wms_featureinfo_textplain_include_items: comma delimited list or keyword 'all' wms_featureinfo_textplain_exclude_items: comma delimited list (all items are excluded by default) This would imply the same behavior change for text/plain that was introduced for GML by bug 950, i.e. that by default text/plain output would return no attributes unless you explicitly set wms_textplain_include_items.

Done in v4.9 CVS. Note that in the end I went with the same metadata names that are used in mapgml.c: wms/ows_include_items: comma delimited list or keyword 'all' wms/ows_exclude_items: comma delimited list (all items are excluded by default) I also modified mapgml.c to accept wms_include_items and wms_exclude_items. It used to look only for ows_*, wfs_* and gml_*. I still need to update docs

I have added a comment about this at the bottom of the WMS-Server-HOWTO in the website: http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/wms_server I'll let Jeff integrate this the way he likes in his document.
