[mapserver-users] How to achieve GetFeature request over a web proxy script PHP

Tue Jun 22 06:12:10 EDT 2010

Hi list, 

I'm trying to get data from a GetFeature request sent to MapServer, but when I do it through a php script, I get the error:

<BODY BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF"> mapserv(): Web application error. Traditional BROWSE mode requires a TEMPLATE in the WEB section, but none was provided.

But if I do it directly from JavaScript, without using the script, I get the data back without any problems?? 

Here is my proxy-php-script:

<?php

	$strURL = $_REQUEST["url"];
	$strMethod = $_REQUEST["method"];
	$strData = $_REQUEST["data"];
	/*echo "Data --> ".$strData;
	echo "URL --> ".$strURL;
	echo "Method --> ".$strMethod;*/ 

	$ch = curl_init($strURL);
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $strURL);
	if ($strMethod == "POST"){
		curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
		curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $strData);
	}
	$data = curl_exec($ch);
	curl_close($ch);
?>

It seems that if I use the script, MapServer thinks that I'm requesting the data through a web browser, but if I do it directly from JavaScript, no. I'm confused.

Does anybody know how to achieve this task??

Thanks one more time.

Un saludo,
