Ok I will give an example of functionality. MapScript has map object, shape
object, layer object, etc. With using these, it is simple to run query in
one layer, get results as shapes and then run query on different layer,
create new layer, then get image, i can store map object in application
cache in very simple way, etc, etc.
It is possible in CGI/WMS? If it is tell me how to do it.
