<P><FONT SIZE=2>Bart,</FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>To be honest we hadn't looked at this before, looks useful, but at the moment we do not want to use an extra XML file only to pass a parameter. (Where do were put the file, etc). Would you also happen to know how to file a RFC?</FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>Why not use the WMS SLD (Styled Layer Descriptor) interface of Mapserver</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>for that?</FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>> Hello List,</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>></FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>></FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>></FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> Currently we are developing an Mapserver web application which demands</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> that</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> users can change the colors of the generated map (after refreshing the map</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> of course). We therefore wanted to use variables in the mapfile:</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>></FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>></FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>></FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> ...</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>></FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> COLOR '%color1%'</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>></FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> ...</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>></FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>></FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>></FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> But unfortunately this is impossible, or are we overlooking something? If</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> not, I would like to make a RFC for this, but I haven't figured out how to</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> do this, is there a procedure/documents to make a Request for change</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> (RFC)?</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>></FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>></FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>></FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> Thanks in advance!</FONT>
