When I omit the request=GetCapabilities parameter on the below request http://ogcdev.bgs.ac.uk/cgi-bin/BGS_Bedrock_and_Superficial_Geology/wms?service=wms&
The exception reported is: <?xml version='1.0' encoding="ISO-8859-1" standalone="no" ?> <ServiceExceptionReport version="1.3.0" xmlns="http://www.opengis.net/ogc" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.opengis.net/ogc http://schemas.opengis.net/wms/1.3.0/exceptions_1_3_0.xsd"> <ServiceException> msWMSDispatch(): WMS server error. Incomplete WMS request: VERSION parameter missing msOutputFormatValidate(): General error message. OUTPUTFORMAT png has IMAGEMODE RGB/RGBA, which is not supported for GD drivers. </ServiceException> </ServiceExceptionReport> I believe this is incorrect. When the service parameter is specified the request can only be GetCapabilities. For a GetCapabilities request the version parameter is optional. The error should therefore report: msWMSDispatch(): WMS server error. Incomplete WMS request: REQUEST parameter missing.
