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:
