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

[Bob Basques]

All, 

Interesting idea.  It would be a method for collecting resources from
multiple domains too.  I assume the GET part of the operation would be
from the MapServer side? 

To push this idea somewhat . . . :c)   Any need by anyone to have the
MapServer output head out to a new service?, not really an include
per-se, but more of a pipelining thing.  My need here would be for
syncing a remote instance of mapserver with a master version somewhere
on the internet.

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.
