[OpenLayers-Users] best way to convert an OL map to a static map ?

[Julien Cigar]

Hello,

I have a webapp where the user wants to be able to download a "static 
version" of the displayed OL map, and I wondered what's the best way to 
do it ..?

I'm using PostGIS/Mapserver and a (dynamically generated) SLD stylesheet.

I planned to simply use the &mode=map of Mapserver, problem is that SLD 
is only supported with WMS requests, so I have to translate my SLD to 
MAP syntax (classes, styles, etc).. which I like to avoid.

So I wondered if there is a better way to do than playing with the URL 
parameters (BBOX, LAYERS, etc)? Also, I would like to keep the 
'attribution' propert(y|ies) of the active(s) layer(s) if possible (I 
use this property to put a custom logo on the map).

Thanks,
Julien
