replace MAP extension with ASPX or ASP

[Pascoe,Tim [Burlington]]

William,

 

            I'm not sure, but think I know what is happening on the example you supplied, as I do the same thing. In order to suppress the path information normally visible in the browser address bar, the developer has implemented a simple ASP script which passes the mapserver arguments through. Below is the script I use, which I got from either this list, or one of the Mapserver support sites (can't remember, but I'm not taking credit....).

 

Hope this helps explain a bit, but I don't think it is actually what you want to do; I think you are looking to build the map file on the fly, correct?

 

<%

    Server.ScriptTimeout = 360

    

    Select Case Request.ServerVariables("REQUEST_METHOD")

      Case "GET"  strRequest = Request.QueryString

      Case "POST" strRequest = Request.Form

    End Select

    

    strURL = "http://web.address/mapserv.exe?map=C:\path\to\mapfile\map.map&" & strRequest

    

    Dim objHTTP

    Set objHTTP = Server.CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP")

    objHTTP.open "GET", strURL, false

    objHTTP.send ""

    Response.ContentType = objHTTP.getResponseHeader("content-type")

    Response.BinaryWrite objHTTP.responseBody

    Set objHTTP = Nothing

Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] replace MAP extension with ASPX or ASP

 

Hello:

 

Is it possible to replace the map extension with aspx or asp? I have seen an example (http://www2.tetonwyo.org/mapserver/) where the map file is called map.asp. I tried to create an aspx file like:

 

<%Response.Write ("Map")%>.....and all the line for a map file, but when I try to replace the http://localhost/scripts/mapserv.exe?map=map.map.... with http://localhost/scripts/mapserv.exe?map=map.aspx I get an regualar expression error

 

I want to be use ASPX or ASP to create the lines code from a basic map file

 

Does anyone can give me an example?

 

Thank you

 

William
