[Mapserver-users] Layer Status in Map File

[Andrew Arace]

'Initializing' the map server by just sending a map=(path) CGI command
does not set the layers to the status defined in the .map file.
It seems to initialize the map (the first request) you must send a
minimum of map=(path)&layer=layer1&layer=layer2&...

So in other words, what is the point of the STATUS in the LAYER object
of the map file (aside from the DEFAULT, which is needed)
