Description
In the document http://mapserver.org/ogc/wms_server.html there is a section:
"Here are working examples of GetFeatureInfo requests: text/plain / text/html / gml (for gml, your browser might ask you to save the file, if so save it locally as a .gml file and view it in a text editor)"
The links are not working examples because they are missing most part of the compulsory GetMap request body. In addition, I believe that that according to standard the keys are not case sensitive but the values are, thus it should read "GetFeatureInfo". Links as plain text look like this:
http://www2.dmsolutions.ca/cgi-bin/mswms_gmap?&SERVICE=wms&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=getfeatureinfo&LAYERS=popplace&QUERY_LAYERS=popplace&x=305&y=200&INFO_FORMAT=text/html http://www2.dmsolutions.ca/cgi-bin/mswms_gmap?&SERVICE=wms&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=getfeatureinfo&LAYERS=popplace&QUERY_LAYERS=popplace&x=305&y=200&INFO_FORMAT=text/plain http://www2.dmsolutions.ca/cgi-bin/mswms_gmap?&SERVICE=wms&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=getfeatureinfo&LAYERS=popplace&QUERY_LAYERS=popplace&x=305&y=200&INFO_FORMAT=gml
