[mapguide-users] How to get mapname by HTTP API

You have to make a MgMap server-side from a Map Definition and keep a
reference to its name so you can manipulate and interact with that same map
for future HTTP requests.

There is no actual HTTP API to actually do this (you had to have some code
in Java/PHP/.net to do this), but for 2.6 there is such an API, it's called
CREATERUNTIMEMAP (see: http://trac.osgeo.org/mapguide/wiki/MapGuideRfc134)

There is an intermediate solution for older versions: Install the
mapguide-rest extension (https://github.com/jumpinjackie/mapguide-rest) and
you'll have something similar to CREATERUNTIMEMAP, but keep in mind that
this is a PHP-based solution.
