[mapserver-users] Remote MapFile

[Jeff McKenna]

Hi Marco,

As Thomas mentioned, you'll have to use a different way.  If you're 
using MS4W you can use PHP MapScript to pass your mapfile to your PHP 
script, and then use CURL commands (already included as a PHP extension 
in MS4W) to download the remote mapfile locally to your server.

Something like: 
http://localhost/myapp/index.php?map=http://remotemachine/mymap.map

There are good examples of how to use CURL for this at: 
http://php.net/manual/en/ref.curl.php
