[UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] dynamically change reference map image

[Steve Lime]

I did look through the source code, and at least for 4.4+ you should be
able to use something like: map_reference_image=foo.gif. On my labtop I
think I even had a demo application that did just this, I'll check.
There are no security hobbles for a reference map.

I have tried all of the above suggestions, and nothing seems to work.
For now,
I am using a more general static reference map as a temporary fix.

this was with mapserver 4.4.2 compiled from source on Debian/Testing.
