[mapserver-users] using mod_wsgi with mapserver

[Stephan Meißl]

Hi Mukesh,

your Python script "wsgi-script.wsgi" needs to have a method named
"application()" which needs to accept two parameters and has to return
the response body (see e.g. [1] for details). 

Inside this method you can use MapScript like in the below incomplete
example (see [2] for details):

def application(environ, start_response):
    ows_req = mapscript.OWSRequest()
    ...
    mapscript.msIO_installStdoutToBuffer()
    dispatch_status = map.OWSDispatch( ows_req )
    mapscript.msIO_stripStdoutBufferContentType()
    result = mapscript.msIO_getStdoutBufferBytes()
    ...
    return [result]

HTH,
Stephan
