[mapserver-users] Is there a way of getting existing settings from a mapfile via CGI?

[Lime, Steve D (MNIT)]

By mapfile settings do you mean a list of mutable properties by layer, class, style, etc...? If so, then no, that doesn't exist as part of the CGI. I would think doing so would be pretty challenging in a generic way.

All,

I have a thought on populating a FORM with the results of a “MapFile SETTINGS” query.  The end game being a  method for users to change current settings on the fly.

Could I need to build a generic template for this, or would all exceptions need to be handled, like missing values, etc?  What happens if something doesn’t exist as a setting in the return . .

Just thinking out loud.

Using mostly WMS/WFS calls to MapServer right now, so I could possibly go the SLD route, but, other thoughts?
