Yves,

thanks for the hint - it works, but produces an ugly URL that exposes
the FS-Link of the mapfile to the public:

<ows:Get xlink:type="simple" xlink:href="
https://server1.org/mapserver/?map=/opt/service/mapserver/mapfile.map&"/
>

I should have mentioned that a reverse proxy runs in front of
Mapserver, that adds the mapfile to the request:

  location /mapserver {
    # Add header for CORS requests
    add_header Access-Control-Allow-Origin *;

    # Load from /etc/init.d/mapserv
    fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9999;

    # Rewrite url to hide mapfile path
    rewrite ^(/mapserver.*)?(.*)$
$1?map=/opt/service/mapserver/mapfile.map$2 break;

    include fastcgi_params;
    fastcgi_param SCRIPT_NAME /usr/bin/mapserv$fastcgi_script_name;
  }

Is there another solution that works in conjunction with my reverse
proxy? Many other server products respect proxy headers and substitute
the filds of the private internal URL scheme with the corresponding
elements of the public URL of the caller.


- Matthias
