[mapserver-users] Stunned by itemnquery, qstring etc.

[Arlen Poort]

Dear listers,

I have searched the archives through and through, but I can't get a working
solution. I am trying to build a url to query Mapserver. But whatever I try,
I always get the same result, which are the contents of my EMPTY template,
as defined in my mapfile.
The url I've built is this one, which I hoped to give me a list of all items
starting with 'R':
http://mapserver.nrc-handelsblad.com/cgi-bin/mapserv?
map=/var/www/fgs/chameleon/map/PS2011SB.map
&mode=itemnquery
&qlayer=Grootste2010
&qitem=Gemnaam
&qstring=/^R/

I've tried this one too, which I hoped would give me the item 'Rotterdam':
http://mapserver.nrc-handelsblad.com/cgi-bin/mapserv?
map=/var/www/fgs/chameleon/map/PS2011SB.map
&mode=itemquery
&qlayer=Grootste2010
&qstring=('Gemnaam'='Rotterdam')

I also tried escaped characters (%5b and %3d etc,), but every result is the
same: nothing.

Can anyone please help me? (Documentation below.)

Thanks!

Arlen
