[Mapserver-users] running v4 beta as a command line tool

[Eduardo Patto Kanegae]

I've tested on MapServer 3.6.4 for Windows, using:

$ mapserv "QUERY_STRING=map=c:\test\mymap.map&mode=map&foo=...." > myresult.gif

but if you try to open "myresult.gif" it crash... 

so I opened this file with a text editor and deleted the first two lines(the headers), then it works!
