4D Raster access NOT via WMS?

[Yewondwossen Assefa]

Hi there,

  The Time parameter that is sent with a WMS request is simply converted 
to a time expression and set on the filter object of the layer. In the 
case of wms. the metadata wms_timeitem will be used for the attribute name.
  if you are using mapscript, you would need to build the time 
expression manually and set the filter parameter. Please refer to 
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/wms_time_support (section 2.5) 
to see how time parameters are interpreted.

Best Regards,
