Swapped X and Y in BoundingBox WMS GetCapabilities

[niccolo]

This is an extract of a GetCapabilities:

    <EX_GeographicBoundingBox>
        <westBoundLongitude>9.6426</westBoundLongitude>
        <eastBoundLongitude>12.4589</eastBoundLongitude>
        <southBoundLatitude>42.2079</southBoundLatitude>
        <northBoundLatitude>44.4951</northBoundLatitude>
    </EX_GeographicBoundingBox>
        <BoundingBox CRS="EPSG:4326"
                    minx="42.2079" miny="9.6426" maxx="44.4951" maxy="12.4589" />

As you can see X and Y are swapped in the last line, both min and max.

Here it is the mapfiles that produces the error with MapServer 5.6.3:

This is probably a wms 1.3.0 request. Axes are swapped as explained in

http://mapserver.org/ogc/wms_server.html#wms-1-3-0-support

If that is the case, please close the bug. Thanks

You are right, if I request GetCapabilities with VERSION=1.1.1, I get the axis not swapped.

I really don't understand the rationale behind WMS 1.3.0 and axes swapping, but I understand that this is not a MapServer bug, so I close it.
