[Geoserver-users] Geoserver WMS returns black background instead of transparent for gif images

[Cameron S. <sho...@op...>]

When I try to get the geoserver WMS to return a gif image with 
transparent background, I'm getting a BLACK background instead.
I have the same result viewing on Firefox on linux and IE on windows.
Geoserver is running on linux.

Attached is images for the following URLs:
