[Mapserver-users] using URL's in pixmap symbol

[Eduardo Patto Kanegae]

I tried to play a little using an URL ( like http://server/img/icon.gif 
) at SYMBOL object...e.g.:
...
TYPE point
CLASS
    SYMBOL "http://server/img/icon.gif"
..
END
....

and MapServer crashes.

by this moment the only solution I thought is use PHP/mapscript to parse 
an url, save result into an image file, and then put this temp image as 
the symbol.

but, will be url images aceppted by mapserver cgi in a near future or if 
doest not exist yet, what module/source should I take a look for maybe 
implement it?

best
