[Mapserver-users] Using CGI to adjust REFERENCE image size

I tried to do the same a few weeks ago, but it did not work for me either at first, but trying to change the map_reference_image and map_reference_extent.
It seem there is a "bug" in the MS lexer, so I had to change a few line in the maplexer.l file, and then recompile MS. This is the diff I used: 

diff mapserver-4.0.1/maplexer.l mapserver-4.0.1-perhenrik/maplexer.l
121c121
< <INITIAL>extent                                      { return(EXTENT); }
---
> <INITIAL,OBJECT_STRING>extent                        { return(EXTENT); }
138c138
< <INITIAL>image                                       { return(IMAGE); }
---
> <INITIAL,OBJECT_STRING>image                         { return(IMAGE); }

After applying this, I was able to chang the variables using map_reference_image and map_reference_extent from cgi. In your case the variables would be map_reference_image and map_reference_size.
