[mapserver-users] c# mapscript: a strange behavior with ovf inline connection

[Tamas Szekeres]

Pietro,

I doubt it it's a C# specific issue. Actually mapserver use
MS_MAXPATHLEN=1024 as the upper limit of the length of the file pathes. In
this case it seems something like SHAPEPATH is already definied in your
mapfile which is concatenated with the connection string by the mapserver
ogr driver. In this regard I don't see any reason why PHP mapscript behaves
differently (assuming you define SHAPEPATH in both cases).

I think however the OGR driver should also consider the connection is not
always define a physical path actually so this might be a issue to be
handled.


Best regards,

Tamas
