Subject: using an URL for TEMPLATE
MIME-Version: 1.0

Hi, in my MAP file i'm trying to tell MapServer to go to an URL instead of
using an actual HTML template page.

in the web object i have:

WEB
TEMPLATE "http://www.test.com/test?img=[img]"

Also, in the LAYER object i have
QUERY
	TEMPLATE "http://www.test.com/test?img=[img]
END

In both cases the URL will load no problem, but the attribute [img] won't
be substituted.  The browser will be sent to
"http://www.test.com/test?img=[img]" when what i want it to do is send me
to something like "http://www.test.com/test?img=1234567890.gif".

The only workaround i have so far is to use an actual template.html with a
<meta http-equiv="refresh"> tag which for many reasons is not a great
solution.

Thanks for any help you can offer!
