[mapserver-users] Extra "?" in WCS query

[Jeff McKenna]

The wrappers that Frank and Jukka refer to are documented for unix and 
windows/apache and windows/iis at: 
http://www.mapserver.org/ogc/wms_server.html#more-about-the-online-resource-url

I use that section myself to remove the map parameter all the time :)
