[mapserver-users] Variable substitution in CONNECTION string on cascading WMS?

[Robert Sanson]

Hi

Is it possible to have variable substitution within the CONNECTION string for CONNECTIONTYPE WMS?

Here is a layer section from my mapfile:

LAYER
  NAME farm
  GROUP "CRS"
  TYPE POLYGON
  STATUS ON
  CONNECTION "http://remoteserver/cgi-bin/mywms.exe?farmid=%farmid%"
  CONNECTIONTYPE WMS
  METADATA
   "wms_srs"             "EPSG:2193"
   "wms_name"            "farm"
   "wms_server_version"  "1.1.1"
   "wms_format"          "image/png"
   "wms_exceptions_format" "application/vnd.ogc.se_xml"
  END
 END

I am wanting to hit my cascading Mapserver WMS and pass it a farmid value which should then be passed through to the other WMS server for processing.

Many thanks,

Robert Sanson
