[Mapserver-users] Max image size

[Ed McNierney]

Tyler -

By default, MapServer is usually built with a maximum image size of 1024 by
1024.  This is to prevent your server from being abused when you're not
looking <g>.  Many of us change it to a larger size, but you need to edit
map.h and recompile to do that.  MapServer easily makes much larger output
files.
