Daniel, Is there anyway to get the IMAGEURL set similarly? To set a base path and have mapserver determine an absolute URL plus the base path. Right now, if you want the temp images to work with Google Earth, you need a absolute URL but if you access mapserver via multiple methods (eg inside and via a proxy server) then you have to have 2 mapfiles.
