URL Map Download

[Rahkonen Jukka]

Hi,

Perhaps setting geotiff OUTPUTFORMAT in mapfile and using Mapserver cgi might do about what you want?

An excerpt from mapfile documentation about defining geotiff output:

OUTPUTFORMAT
  NAME GTiff
  DRIVER "GDAL/GTiff"
  MIMETYPE "image/tiff"
  IMAGEMODE RGB
  EXTENSION "tif"
END


Then your user should send in some way the request using option &OUTPUTFORMAT=GTiff. Also the application should take suitable values from the user interface for MAPEXT and MAPSIZE values.

Dear mapserver users,
I would like to know, if it is posible to download a full map file using a URL query in a mapserver
I want to download a mapserv generated map at the maximum size and resolution possible
This way, the users could choose the layers they want and download an entire map that they could plot.
Any help is very much appreciated
Regards
Guido
