I don't see anything obvious. You can test at the command-line with the CGI (shp2img won't work). Syntax is like so:
mapserv -nh "QUERY_STRING=map=/srv/www/htdocs/mapdata/catch.map&spp=TAR" The -nh switch suppresses the HTTP headers which helps if you're creating an image.

I have a Postgis table of species occurences & I want to pass a variable to the mapfile to select which speciesusing runtime substitution. The relevant DATA statement (joining species in the catch to locations in the station) in the mapfile is: DATA "startp from (select c.id, s.startp, s.trip_code, s.station_no, c.species, c.weight from t_station s, catch c where s.station_no=c.station_no and c.species ilike '%%spp%%') as myquery using unique id using srid=4326" The query works in Postgis & in the mapfile (via QGIS) when I hard code the %spp% (eg, to 'TAR') I'm using QGIS to open the layer, with the URL: http://wms-dev/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/srv/www/htdocs/mapdata/catch.map&spp=TAR QGIS appends the request type, etc & it works with the hard coded "spp" The mapfile also has: METADATA "wms_title" "species" "wms_srs" "epsg:4326" "wfs_title" "species" "wfs_version" "1.0.0" "wfs_typename" "species" "wfs_request_method" "GET" "wfs_service" "WFS" "spp_validation_pattern" '^[A-Z0-9][A-Z0-9][A-Z0-9]$' END The version I'm running is MapServer version 5.4.1 (so no default supported) The docs say I can use shp2img to test runtime substitution in a mapfile, but I can't see how to invoke the substitution with the equivalent of a spp=TAR statement to test this. Any suggestions?
