[Mapserver-users] Passing CGI variables

[Dharani Babu]

Thanks Daniel - all
   This helped me get a vb.net picture box based wrapper for the MS . I have 
a question though .
As you when we post the CGI variables we are in need of posting it in the 
form of a html stream only--like
"http://192.168.2.135/cgi-bin/mapserv_40.exe?zoomdir=1&zoomsize=2&" etc . 
But is there any alternative so that I can pass it with
"C:/ms4w/apache/cgi-bin/mapserv_40.exe?zoomdir=1&zoomsize=2&" ?
But I know very well the map server exe works with Apache or IIS . But I 
want to copy the map server exe and its associated dlls to a location other 
then the cgi-bin or scripts . Is it possible ?
Is there any way we can make MS exe to get the html stream and give us the 
image in tmp folder WITHOUT  Apache or IIS ? I am trying to get a soln by 
running dependency walker on ms exe and other trails with spy tools . Still 
not yet solved .
with regards and thanks in advance
