[mapserver-users] Left click loses CGI variables

[Lime, Steve D (MNIT)]

What sort of a client environment are you working in? This doesn't sound like a MapServer problem unless you're using mode=browse. I'd think you'd manage those variables within OL, Leaflet or whatever and just keep attaching values to calls back to the server.

Subject: [mapserver-users] Left click loses CGI variables

When sending output to PDA devices, I use a direct call to mapserv with several run-time substitution variables to set filters.

This works perfectly for the initial display but if the user clicks the resulting map, the redisplay loses all of the variables.

This led to errors in the redisplay because %foo% was no longer replaced so I added default_foo entries to the mapfile.

This prevents the errors but means that nothing matches the default filter.

How can I tell mapserv to retain the original variables?

Cheers and thanks,
Stephen
