[mapserver-users] Mapplet problem - SecurityExceptionEx[mappl et.init]

[Kralidis, Tom]

Beth,

You'd have to include the entire URL ('http://' included).  i.e:

<param name="image" value="http://[host]/tmp/file.png">

Using the MapServer CGI 'host' directive makes this more portable.

..in addition, I don't believe the mapplet supports PNG, unless you've
compiled them in yourself.  Someone correct me if I'm mistaken.

..Tom
