Jorge,

I think POST WMS (and other cgi style requests) have been
supported by MapServer for a long time.  I will note that it was
only in March 2004 that the code was modified to support
posts without CONTENT_LENGTH, but if you are doing this
from a browser that should not be an issue.

This is really one of the cases where I would encourage you to
"just try it" before asking.  If if doesn't work then you can point
out your problem on the list.

When I was at PCI I used to get questions all the time about
whether the software supported a particular format.  My answer
was, try "File->Open" on it, did that work?

Best regards,
