hi list, this has probably been discussed before, but maybe there are updates
(on v8?)
we would like to extract the ows_onlineresource from the environment, instead
of having an administrator to configure it on the mapfile
currently we implement a hack where the webserver layer sends an additional
query parameter `ows_url` to mapserver which contains the current url
in the mapfile this is implemented as
```WEB
VALIDATION
"ows_url"
"(\b(https?|ftp|file)://)?[-A-Za-z0-9+&@#/%?=~_|!:,.;]+[-A-Za-z0-9+&@#/%=~_|]"
END
METADATA
"ows_onlineresource" "%ows_url%"
END
END```
I wonder if others run into similar challenges, or if there are much more
simple best practices for this case.
I can imagine allowing a environment parameter 'proxy-url' like geoserver would
make sense, but it should allow some kind of template, eg:
```PROXY-URL https://example.com/cgi-bin/mapserv?map={map}.map```
which in our case would be
```PROXY-URL https://example.com/cgi-bin/{map}```
Thank you, Paul._______________________________________________
