select output type on cgi query string?

[John Cole]

Brock,
  Thanks, but that doesn't seem to work in the cgi mode (at least on my
4.8.1).

John,

Mapserver WMS lets you specify the output format in the URL.  Just add:

    &format=png  (or jpeg, gif, etc.)

... to the request.  I'm not sure if non-WMS requests allow a similar 
argument.
