[Mapserver-users] Max image size

[Ed McNierney]

Frank -

Thanks for the note and beating me to the .map file suggestion - rebuilding MapServer is a big hurdle for such a small change.

Tyler,

I believe MS_MAXIMGSIZE is what you want to change.

It is my humble opionion that only remote client requests (via URL) should
be checked against this, not image sizes read from .map files or those
originating from mapscript requests.  If appropriate folks agree, I could
look into making this change.  Ideally we would also have a MAXIMGSIZE
directive that could be included in .map files so this could be set
without recompiling mapserver - which is very hard for some folks to do.

PS. MS_MAXIMGSIZE is 2048 in CVS now as far as I can tell, which I believe
allows up to a 2048x2048 image to be requested.

Best regards,
