temp directory remain empty

[Milo van der Linden]

Mapserver is only requested as wms, so no mode=map or mode=browse is used.
Is it possible to somehow implement mode=browse or mode=map with a wms 
server?

And if this results in the images being written to disk; is there script 
available to transfer the request to a image that is allready on disk?

my webserver had perl, python and asp.net a scripting languages 
available, so preferably a script would be in one of these languages.

Any commercial suggestions would also be appreciated.
