[Chameleon] Chameleon as a WMS client

Hi list,

I have a Chameleon application with 5 WMS layers which come from the same
machine, all served by mapserv.exe, but with different MAP files.

So Chameleon acts a WMS client (through Mapserver's WMS client).

If I get an error on one of the layers, the spinner just keep on turning
and no image is returned. I would expect an image to return 4 of the 5
layers which are working. So this is not a timeout, but a mapserver error
which is not handled in the best possible way.

Is this a Chameleon "bug" or a Mapserver WMS client "bug"?

This is what Mapserver gives back:
loadOutputFormat(): General error message. OUTPUTFORMAT clause references
driver swf, but this driver isn't configured.

On the following request:
http://myserver/cgi-bin/mapserv_42.exe?map=/ms4w_20/apps/general/map/gemeentes.map&request=GetMap&bbox=100000,400000,200000,500000&width=500&height=500&format=image/png&version=1.1.1&srs=EPSG:28992&layers=Gemeentes

BTW: should not always a WMS Exception be returned by Mapserver?

Best regards,
Bart
