[mapserver-users] ArcIMS Emulations

[Bruno Gendron]

Hi Paul,

You're right, as of 4.0.6, PHP cannot handle
simultaneously POST and GET requests. You have to
trick your server to re-encode the GET part in the
POST part and redirect this new request to your PHP
script.

However, PHP can read raw POST data, in the variable
$HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA...
