[mapserver-dev] URL-based includes...

[Lime, Steve D (DNR)]

Hi all: Was chatting with Brent F. a bit about dynamic mapfile content. One idea that surfaced was URL-based includes, e.g.:

  INCLUDE "http://.../some file or CGI script<http://.../some%20file%20or%20CGI%20script>"

Any thoughts on the utility of such a function? Code would have to be added into the lexer section that handles includes. Could just write whatever is retrieved in a temp directory and then open as normal.
