I agree with all those that think that a request like
http://myservice/ows?service=WMS&request=GetCapabilities&; should return the
highest supported version of WMS on that server (currently 1.3.0 but in the
near? future 1.4.0 and then 2.0.0...). This is the expected behaviour
according the to
I would concur with Ian and Jeff.
My experience of WMS servers is that those that say that they are 1.3.0 are
miss-configured or are just not following the standard well enough.
Not all of the WMS 1.3.0 servers are at fault but enough that it is safer
and less time consuming to default to 1.1.0.
To be clear, I personally don't have a problem with 1.1.1. My concern
is about version negotiation as a WMS client. I've seen users omit the
version and then when something doesn't behave as expected, they
manually (in a web browser) make a request as follows:

Hi Tim,
I can tell you just by use alone, the 1.1.1 standard is most prevalent.
In the MapServer world, it is 1.1.1 that dominates. I also find,
having been at this a long time now, that the 1.1.1 specification is
most likely to be supported, if WMS is supported at all, by other
mapping eng
There are lots of reasons to stick with 1.1.0 and few reasons to move to
1.3 so I would guess anyone who knows they want 1.3 will want to specify it
to be sure while naive users will be less suprised at getting a 1.0.0
version back if they haven't thought about it.

Does anyone know why the WMS Driver defaults to version 1.1.1 instead of
1.3.0 by default? Does anyone have any objections with this changing to
1.3.0? It seems like 1.3.0 would fall more into line with the
specifications content negotiation.
