[mapserver-users] FCGI and SVG output goes to STDERR?

[Frank Warmerdam]

Nick,

As I vaguely recall from when I worked on fastcgi support in MapServer,
only output formats that can be redirected through the low level mapserver
io layer (ms_io*.c) will work properly in fastcgi mode.  I'm guessing the
svg encoder just writes directly to stdout.  If my theory is correct,
non-trivial code changes would be necessary to make this work.

Best regards,
Frank
