changing DATA parameter in mapfile via URL

[Smith, Michael ERDC-CRREL-NH]

You need to use the DATAPATTERN keyword to allow data changes at the URL
level. See the docs at
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc44/mapfile-reference.html#map. DATAPATTERN is
a regular expression that gets applied to any requests to change data. Its a
security thing.

Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] changing DATA parameter in mapfile via URL



Is is possible to change the 'DATA' parameter via a URL-style variable such
as:

...&map_layername_data="xxx.shp"

i am able to change every other property of this layer, but not its data
source.

if this is not possible, does anyone know of some kind of work-around?

i am trying to use a single map file for numerous different shape files...

thanks in advance!
