Hi,

Somebody in a french forum got an error with mapserver. I tested it with mapserv 4.10.1. The problem come from this line in the mapfile : "wms_contactelectronicmailaddress" "email@…"

the GetCapabilities, send this : <Service>

.. <ContactInformation>

<ContactElectronicMailAddress>email@…</ContactElectronicMailAddress> </Service>

As you can see, the </ContactInformation> closed tag does not appear. Is it a known bug ?

Yves,

It looks like this is still a bug in the dev version as well. Reading the code I believe you can work around this problem by supplying either the "contactperson" or "contactorganization" metadata as well which causes a slightly different code path to be used. I imagine this is why this hasn't already been commented on.

Please file a bug on this I'm sure Assefa, Tom or someone will fix the code.

Fixed. Cleaned up mapows.c/msOWSPrintContactInfo to be more simple.
