04:39:31 CIA-6: sdlime * r9613 /trunk/mapserver/mapquery.c: Added support for shape queries using lines and points ( multi-versions too ) ( #3231 ).
05:30:45 CIA-6: assefa * r9614 /trunk/mapserver/mapwfs.c: coorrect error when parsing property names #675
05:52:05 : * jmckenna bites my tongue again about multiple doc branches and committing to multiple branches ( ala blue site ). unfortunately we're here yet again.
05:54:01 hobu: we have no practical option otherwise. The plone site totally failed operating on the other end of the spectrum
05:54:55 hobu: if we switched to a version control system that made for easy branching/merging, we wouldn't even notice this hassle either, IMO
05:55:22 : * hobu notes how many years it took to argue for svn migration and adds appropriately to the timetable for dvcs
05:58:10 : * aboudreault really appreciates mercurial ; )
05:58:35 aboudreault: *now*
06:26:47 hobu: aboudreault: get danmo using it ; )
06:32:29 aboudreault: of course he is!
06:32:35 aboudreault: *does*
06:32:59 aboudreault: our internal repo is hg, he has no choice :P
08:30:23 ue: Will ask here too, maybe some experienced qgis + wms + mapserver users here, I have set up mapserver as WMS everything work nice, except getFeatureInfo from QGIS request text/plain, and I want a gml request and I can't force qgis to request it as gml ...
08:31:03 ue: http://iagis.iap.md/publish/wmx?SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetFeatureInfo&BBOX=28.726001,46.972835,28.806219,47.022445&SRS=EPSG:4326&WIDTH=1162&HEIGHT=718&LAYERS=Natural_En&STYLES=&FORMAT=image/png;%20mode=24bit&TRANSPARENT=TRUE&QUERY_LAYERS=Natural_En&INFO_FORMAT=text/plain&X=447&Y=659
08:31:08 ue: this is what qgis requests
08:31:40 ue: if I change the url to INFO_FORMAT gmal I get proper gml response
08:32:02 ue: I tried to set "wms_feature_info_mime_type" "application/vnd.ogc.gml in both map and layer
08:32:18 ue: but qgis still request feature info as text/plain
08:34:14 ue: Qgis shows: Identify Formats: text/plain, application/vnd.ogc.gml
08:44:28 jef: ue: qgis only currently only supports text/plain
08:46:54 ue: jef, oh ... thx u a lot, you just saved me a couple of hours of digging : )
08:47:27 jef: ue: np
09:26:49 CIA-6: assefa * r9615 /trunk/docs/ ( de/ogc/sld.txt en/ogc/sld.txt ): Indicate MapServer version for a feature
09:39:31 jmckenna: ( thanks assefa, for the version note )
11:33:08 ue: Can't get mapserver to produce 8bit transparent pngs => WMS request: http://iagis.iap.md/publish/ows/?LAYERS=Natural_En&TRANSPARENT=FALSE&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetMap&STYLES=&EXCEPTIONS=application%2Fvnd.ogc.se_inimage&FORMAT=image%2Fpng&SRS=EPSG%3A4326&BBOX=24.149710655213,46.873847961426,29.435507774353,49.090339660644&WIDTH=1924&HEIGHT=807
11:33:50 ue: Outputformat: http://pastie.org/739528
11:33:51 sigabrt: Title: #739528 - Pastie ( at pastie.org )
11:36:09 ue: no matter what combination of options I try I still get an image with black background :(
11:37:21 FrankW: Why are you mixing quantization and RGBA 32bit images?
11:37:29 FrankW: How are you checking the background?
11:38:05 ue: 1. I don't know, should I use just RGB ?
11:38:12 ue: 2. using openlayers and gimp
11:38:20 ue: both get me a black background
11:38:37 FrankW: Are you aiming for a 32bit RGBA file or an 8bit paletted file/
11:38:37 FrankW: ?
11:39:19 ue: 8bit paletted file
11:39:55 FrankW: then you should use IMAGEMODE PC256
11:40:12 FrankW: see where you end up trying that.
11:41:06 ue: it's errors: Agg supports only RGB and RGBA
11:41:25 FrankW: ok, I'd better back off.
11:41:33 FrankW: Clearly this stuff does not work the way it did when I implemented it.
11:41:40 FrankW: ( originally, before agg )
11:41:55 ue: ok : )
11:59:26 ue: k, got it ... mapserver should be compiled with --with-experimental-png
11:59:30 ue: in order this to work
12:53:23 ue: can't find anything about this on google, can I restrict WMS usage to certain image types ? like jpeg only ... with out nasty mapscript hacks
13:03:50 jlivni: ue: hmm .. perhaps you could define the other default image/foo outputs to have an invalid outputformat ?
13:04:03 jlivni: but there's probably a less hackish way
13:05:47 ue: so for image/tiff I output image/png anyway ?
13:06:06 ue: as an example
13:07:19 jlivni: that could work
13:07:22 jlivni: i think
13:07:34 jlivni: worth a shot anyway?
13:07:59 ue: I guess, I was wondering if there is something in the "WMS spec"
13:08:35 ue: cuz if it's not there I doubt it will work through all gis clients
13:09:16 jlivni: right .. if you hobble your specific implementation of your wms server, then its likely some clients will not work
13:10:13 ue: k, thank for tips, will just leave as it is, outputformat X selected by default
