Hello everyone,
I am currently using a wrapper around mapserv which receives the URL
parameters, builds the map file (actually I only need to set some
filters in the map file, but the filters need to be built after running
some SQL queries with the passed in parameters). After the map file is
built, mapserv is called (as a shell script), and the map gets sent to
the user. Currently this wrapper is written in perl - so it's not
terribly fast as a cgi process.
While this approach works, it is terribly inefficient. I would like to
use mapserv as a fcgi process (or something faster than plain cgi). My
question is - how can I /should I build a wrapper around mapserv that
can "customize" the MAP file on the fly and run as a fcgi process?
Any ideas on where I should start? An example of such a wrapper?
Also, I suspect I can send parameters to mapserver and use some sort of
variables in the map file to set up my filters - but I haven't seen an
example. Can someone point me to such a documentation?
Thanks,
Adrian
