MapServer - single URL map layer filter

[Steve Lime]

What type of layers (e.g. PostGIS, shapefiles, other...) are you talking about? What happens if you remove the quotes?

I'm still having issues with MapServer and the inline map_layer_filter's.
I'm using MapServer 4.9 and something has changed since 4.7 that make these
not function properly.  You can see below the examples that work and don't
work.
 
Thanks,
Randy

I sent this before realizing that Mapserver had been released.  When I
acquire the 4.8 version I be sure to check this functionality.

To whom it may concern,
 
I don't know how to refer to these filters in the URL's query string,
there's very little to no documentation on them, as far as I can find.
These are the filters in the URL with the syntax of
&map_<map_layer_name>_filter="where=clause".
 
I installed the latest of FWTools1.0.0a7 with Mapserver 4.8-beta and finally
determined a functionality discrepancy with FWTools1.0.0.a3 with Mapserver
4.7 regarding multiple inline URL map layer filters.  The below URL is the
desired request, but returns an invalid response with no exception.
Additionally nothing is added to the mapserver debug log file either.

&map_aoi_filter="request_id=2181" - works by itself.
&map_tiles_filter="request_id=2181" - does not work added on, works by
itself
&map_prodcov_filter="request_id=2181" - does not work added on, works by
itself
 
I pointed the URL at Mapserver 4.7 and it works perfectly.  I hope this is
not a planned feature of Mapserver 4.8.
