[mapserver-users] What's wrong with this string?

[Steve Lime]

Imgext is only used to describe an existing image displayed by mapserver
and needs x,y coordinates (in image units) to be useful. I think what
you want to use mapext instead. Mapext refers to the extent of the map
to be created and is the standard way to initialize an application.

I'm reworking an enquiry front end, and currently generate an initiate
string:

http://sg211.gisca.adelaide.edu.au/cgi-bin/mapserv/mapserv?map=..%2Fhtdocs%2Fau_afs_mapserver%2Fau_afs_nojava.map&mode=browse&layer=state_boundaries&zoomsize=2&imgext=855342.0+-4343315.0+1458169.0+-3768371.0&resources=infield&pop=999&roads=999&elec=999

It appears to ignore the imgext, and just uses the defaults.  Any
clues?  The values are an Albers projection, I obtained by zooming to my
region of interest and copying the command string that produced it.
