[MapServer-users] CGI variable "map" fails to validate

[Seth G]

Hi Matthew,

The CONFIG file I think is only reloaded when IIS or the Application Pool is restarted, so some changes to the regex may have been ignored. 
Do you have a sample request with the &map= parameter? Is there anything in a web.config file that could be stripping these out or modifying them?
