[mapserver-dev] default values when using url overloading

[Thomas Bonfort]

hi,

the question is most certainly oriented for Steve, but I'm mailing
-dev so others can coment.

I very often use url overloading with the %key% syntax in my mapfile
as I find it's a powerful means of building custom maps. The problem
with the current implementation is that the mapfile more often than
less becomes unparsable if the url doesn't contain the key=value
parameter.

Would it be complicated to modify the parser so that the mapfile can
contain a default value for %key%, that would be applied if the url
does not contain the "key" parameter?

best regards,

thomas
