With all the talk last week of trying to access the full mapserver
functionality from an ASP page and other non-mapscript enabled languages, I
took some of the thoughts from the group and developed a vbscripted asp
class that acts as a proxy to mapserver so allows one to embed the
functionality of a mapserver map in an asp page.  The next best thing to
being able to use ASP as a template.

Here are some examples of it in use - they are still a bit buggy since it
was more of an experiment than anything.

This is a more complicated use of it - which integrates with a full blown
asp db page from an external server

(It uses ServerXMLHttp (which usually comes with the IIS install or is
freely available from Microsoft site) to call mapserv cgi and return the
results, but this can be substituted with AspTear etc.)

If anyone is interested in the code, you can download it from here
