[Gdal-dev] Method to get a google image by url?

[Zhonghai Wang]

Hi there,

that's a very good point for me. Several days ago I've tried to access
tiled indexed raster images via a http link in MapServer, but I did
NOT get it run, is there any KEYWORD in MapServer to switch this
functionality on? like the GDAL_SKIP DODS command?

Best Regards

Zhonghai
