[mapserver-users] adhoc requests to the end of the WMS requestwithin mapserver map file

[Kralidis,Tom [Burlington]]

John: you could add the extra keyword-value pairs to the CONNECTION object, i.e.:

  CONNECTION "http://localhost:8080/geoserver/wms?filter=fieldname=fieldvalue"

Hope this helps

Subject: [mapserver-users] adhoc requests to the end of the WMS requestwithin mapserver map file
 
Below I have listed a sample layer section which does a WMS call to a local
geoserver and this work fine, but what I would like to now do is be able to
add to this WMS request a filter parameter (e.g.
&filter=fieldname=fieldvalue) which geoserver can accept.
How can I add adhoc requests like the filter example listed above to the end
of the WMS request when mapserver is making a WMS request?

Thanks,

John
