Dynamic SLD - variable passing problem

[Yewondwossen Assefa]

Not sure what the problem is. Quick suggestions/questions :
   - which version of mapserver are you using. This addition
(wms_sld_url) was done around Feb 2004 and is available in the latest
realses.

    - can you subtitute wms_sld_url with wms_sld_body (the value for
this metadata is the content of the sld document). Does this work ?

  If none of these work and the sld is valid, you could maybe send me a
sample of your data,sld,... and I could do some testing here.

Later,
