[UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Creating querymap via CGI parameters

[Kralidis,Tom [Burlington]]

This doesn't work either for me.

Basically, I'm looking for a CGI GET style URL format, which will give me a map with my query highlighted.  Almost like a OGC:WMS GetFeatureInfo, but returned as an image (n.b. only text-based results are supported in MapServer WMS).

My inputs would be:

Layername
Bbox
img.x (of queried point)
img.y (of queried point)

...which I've tried to replicate with:

http://devgeo.cciw.ca/cgi-bin/mapserv/ecows?map=/usr/local/wwwsites/apache/devgeo.cciw.ca/apps/mapserv/services/ecows/config.map&mode=querymap&img.x=289&img.y=268&imgext=-96.49999999971898%2042.00000000017564%20-72.50000000028102%2056.99999999982436&layer=star_phosphorous&buffer=20

..but get nothing.

Doing this via OGC:WMS GetFeatureInfo gives me results, so I know data is there:

http://devgeo.cciw.ca/cgi-bin/mapserv/ecows?SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetFeatureInfo&SRS=EPSG%3A4326&BBOX=-96.49999999971898,42.00000000017564,-72.50000000028102,56.99999999982436&WIDTH=560&HEIGHT=350&LAYERS=star_phosphorous&STYLES=&FORMAT=image%2Fpng&BGCOLOR=0xFFFFFF&TRANSPARENT=FALSE&QUERY_LAYERS=star_phosphorous&INFO_FORMAT=text%2Fhtml&X=289&Y=268&FEATURE_COUNT=5
