[Chameleon] getfeatureinfo response formats?

[Bart van den Eijnden]

Hi Ken,

"Mapserver XML" is actually based on GML 2.

I guess what you are talking about is mimetype text/plain for  
GetFeatureInfo. This is also possible. I don't know how fancy it is  
presented by Chameleon though (maybe just as plain text).

Ofcourse the advantage of using XML is that you can present it easily in  
any way using eg XSLT.

Best regards,
Bart
