Hi Adrian!

(file this response under #betterlatethannever ha)

The MapServer document that you referenced states "WMS layers are not 
yet supported".  Maybe I should improve the styling of that sentence in 
the document, as it sort of blends in, instead of a strong warning.

Have you tried your tests with CGI mapserv?map=  or a shp2img request at 
the commandline (you can use the "-i" switch to specify that format) ?

That sentence in the document is incorrect, as you can specify an 
OUTPUTFORMAT for svg, for a GetMap, as you said.

Hmm, I'd need a test case to see.  Would you mind creating a small test 
case? (mapfile snippet, inline feature as layer, requests in 
'commands.txt' file, zipped).

thanks!

I've changed the sentence in the documentation now, to say that GetMap 
requests are possible, with OUTPUTFORMAT, as you said here.

K let me know if you can make a small test case.

thanks!
