so i finally got to investigate this a bit more and found a solution... i
encoded the layers list in the mapfile and it works. Why? I don't know... it
seems to me it shouldn't work but it does...
Here are my findings:

I'm using qgis 1.9 from a while back (before the vector branch merge). It

in the map project, effectively making names equal to the titles, even if
illegal. But seriously, I

Andreas,
Very informative. Thanks. I've never read the spec in its entirety, just
some parts as need arises. The concept of having strings for humans and
strings for machines does not resonate well for me... but I'm not bashing
the spec just airing some perplexity.
Your answer really presented
Hi,
I am sure that layer names should not begin with a number by WMS standard, or
perhaps it is XML in the background. Numbers are allowed later in the name but
as the first character. However, I think this is just nice to know because I do
not know any WMS client that would deny to use such
Sorry about wrong information concerning ESRI servers and WMS layer Names. I
thought that ArcIMS is always using names beginning with numbers but obviously
it can also convert Titles into Names (even if Title contains invalid
characters) and I am not sure at all how layer Names are configured
Jukka, thanks for your reply.
Some wms clients do not use the title from layers. They only show the name
(eg qgis).
As it stands, my wms server creates wms layers names automatically from my
map project, either as a numeric sequence (0,1,2...) or the same string as
the title. (have you guessed
Hi everybody (this always reminds me of Barney from the simpsons...)
Anyway, I'm battling with cascading a wms layer that has human readable
names... like with spaces and other characters that MapServer urlencodes...
So when I have in my mapfile:
