[mapserver-users] Saving an image from a query

[Rahkonen Jukka]

Hi,

Perhaps wget thinks that certain characters are cutting the URL string. Try 
wget "http://mysite.com/mapserv.cgi?map=../../mapfiles/demo.map&layer=land&mode=map&FORMAT=image/png" -O output.png

We have used wget a lot for downloading data from WCS so I guarantee you will make it work by reading documents and trying just like we did.
