Hi Yuan,

I just checked the WMS specifications (1.1.1 and 1.3.0) and neither requires or 
even lists the SERVICE parameter for the GetMap or the GetFeatureInfo requests. 
It is only listed (and mandatory) for the GetCapabilities request.

So, I think (as you first guessed) this is an issue for GI-Axe. Enrico and 
Mattia, does that sound right to you?

Thanks,

Ethan
