WMS Client doesn't choose good width/height in image request

[dstahlke@…]

When mapserver is setup to cascade with reprojection, it must grab an image of a
certain width/height and extents from a remote server.  Currently, the image
requested from the remote server is of the same dimensions as the image to be
produced.  It would be better to request an image that is the same area as the
image to be produced (in order to attempt to get good enough resolution), but
with an aspect ratio the same as the extents.  This way mapserver will be
requesting an image with square pixels, which will be good both to avoid
non-square-pixel errors and because square pixels will be a better use of
resolution.

Can you verify your testcase is working? I tried reproducing but cannot get back anything from the JPL WMS (which is not at  http://wms.jpl.nasa.gov/wms.cgi).

Is this still an issue?
