[mapserver-users] setting status of a layer using url

[Jan Hartmann]

Right! In MapServer CGI you can turn layers on via the URL with the 
LAYER <name> or LAYERS <name name ...> variable. These layers have to be 
defined in the MapFile with STATUS ON, STATUS OFF, or no STATUS defined. 
A layer is displayed automatically only when it has been defined with 
STATUS DEFAULT. You cannot turn such a layer off by scripting (I think).
