[UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Creating querymap via CGI parameters

[Skweda O'Bomsawin]

I never be able to get Mapserver 4.0 works in querymap mode (error 500).  I
finally succeeded with Mapserver 4.2.  My URL looks like this:

http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv_42?map=/var/www/html/demo.map&layers=poly+
bkgd+lakes+roads&mapsize=791+749&imgext=-2341026.679536+-976279.0592349669+3
029014.36292+4108266.1303309673&mode=nquerymap&imgbox=53+221+664+721

Coordinates are in Lambert (meters).  You can also cache some variables like
mode and mapsize.  You need a dummy query layer in your mapfile (or in
hidden tag).  I use an imgbox because this is a nquerymap (query with a
rubberband square).

Hi,

In the itasca demo, querying features displays a standard querymap, as
well as cached query.

Looking at the HTML, it looks like:

Standard querymap: ms_tmp/DEMO10978846173120.gif

Cached query:
/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=c:/ms4w/apps/itasca/demo.map&queryfile=c:/ms4w/
tmp/ms_tmp/DEMO10978846173120.qy&layer=lakespy2&layer=dlgstln2&mode=map&
size=200+200

How can one replicate this behaviour (i.e. output a querymap) with CGI
parameters through MapServer CGI?

Thanks

..Tom
