[mapserver-users] dBox - Hide mapfile source

[Steve Lime]

Easiest way is to use an environment variable in your web server. In Apache you just do:

  SetEnv RockMSMap //someserver/somehiddenshare$/webapps/RockMS.map

and then in javascript:

  config.mapfile = 'RockMSMap'

Not sure how you'd do that with IIS but I imagine it's possible.

I am looking for some help in how to hide the map file source in a dBox application.  My environment is IIS 6 on Win Server 2003 with
Python mapscript using Mapserver 5.0.2.  I am accessing my dBox source files from a network file server.
 
In my application html, my config.mapfile variable is set something like this:
 
config.mapfile = '//someserver/somehiddenshare$/webapps/RockMS.map';
 
When a user views the web page source code in the browser, the file server name and path are exposed which I do not want.  I have seen references to CGI wrappers but can't
see how they apply to dBox applications.
 
Thanks
