Description
The WMS Server HOWTO contains a section titled "Test with a Real Client" that contains an example of an incomplete GetMap request to use for testing: http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc/wms-server-howto.html#val_getmap This used to work with V4.0 and before, but since 4.1, we do a stronger checking on parameter values, and at least the LAYERS parameter is required. (Other mandatory parameters should be checked but they are not.) We have two options: 1- Modify the example to include LAYERS, and keep the note that states that this not a valid GetMap request. Also try to make the note stand out more since some people seem to overlook it. 2- Modify this section to show how to build a complete GetMap request with all the mandatory parameters included (VERSION, REQUEST, LAYERS, STYLES, SRS, BBOX, WIDTH, HEIGHT and FORMAT) I think #1 is simpler, but #2 would be more "correct". Or actually, we could have a combination of both: start with #1, and then explain that this is not a valid request according to the spec and then explain how to build a valid request.
