[mapserver-users] Is there a limitation on the mapsize in map serv 3.5

[Obe, Regina DND\MIS]

I think the 1K limit fits most purposes.  For intranet apps here though -
people want to print out their maps on 11X17 paper and on the plotter so
that was the reason I asked.  But I'll try and change the code to do that.

Thanks for all the prompt help.  I really appreciate it.

It's in the code (has been for many a version). It's to keep folks from
requesting huge images and hanging a server. What would be a better limit?
Current is 1K...

If I try to specify a mapsize that is greater than 1000 pixels x 1000
pixels, mapserv comes back with an error that the image size is too big.  I
was wondering if this was a limitation in the operating system or a
limitation enforced within the mapserv code.
