[mapserver-dev] Call for comments - RFC 42 HTTP Cookie Forwarding

[Julien-Samuel Lacroix]

Hi,

We had a request to add HTTP Cookie forwarding support in MapServer for 
WMS/WFS layers. This would allow us to support Cookie base 
authentication that are present in certain WMS/WFS server environment.

These are simple and non-disruptive changes. Note that MapServer already 
read the HTTP Cookie and store them in the cgiRequestObj like they were 
GET or POST parameters.

Can you please take a look at:
