MAXIMGSIZE in mapfile

[Paul Moen]

I have been looking for a way to set the max image size in the mapfile and I
have found the text at the bottom in the archives, but see nothing in the
documentation on whether or not this is possible.  Does anyone have any
information if the maximum image size can be changed by adding the
MAXIMGSIZE to the mapfile rather than recompiling.  I have tried to add it
to my mapfile but I get an error, which could mean that I am putting it in
the wrong part of the mapfile.

I agree this would be a welcome change.  BTW, if you create a new
MAXIMGSIZE directive then don't forget that the test on MAXIMGSIZE
should be applied to the WMS as well (mapwms.c).  Also it should not be
possible to change those maxsize values via the CGI interface.  Perhaps
a bug should be created for this to track everything including required
updates to the docs, etc.
