Retrieving map image via URL

[Stephen Lime]

Sure. All you need to do is change the mapserver "mode" by adding &mode=map to the
URL. Remember the default mode is "browse" which returns HTML/URL (redirect).

I would like to retrieve the map image from a ms server only via its URL
using a program like wget or curl. When I'm using the normal parameter like
in the URL line of the browser I get the html document back. Can I define
the URL request this way that I will get back the gif image of the main map
with certain layers and a certain extend etc.?
