[mapserver-dev] 5.2rc1: GetLegendGraphic change?]

[Steve Lime]

Cookies available to the server are tagged on to the request parameter array. It's been a feature
of MS for years. Downstream services have no way to  know whether a parameter originated from a
get, post or cookie. I'm not sure what the solution is or if it's worth spending time on a fix.
