Hi There,
There is actually no support of wms client post request in mapserver.

Frank,
Thanks for the answer. My problem is with the layers in the client
mapfile. We have several wms layers but i do not know how to indicate
to MapServer to make POST requests to the WMS server (instead of GET
requests). I have found the wfs_request_method parameter but I did not
find a "wms_request_method".
I have made some tests and, as WMS Server, MapServer do supports
URL-encoded POST request.
Thanks again,
Jorge

Hi all
Is it possible to set the WMS client request method to POST? We have
a layer with a long SLD_BODY parameter and the web server says that
the request is too long.
Jorge,
I think POST WMS (and other cgi style requests) have been
supported by MapServer for a long time. I will note that it was
only in March 2004 that the code was modified to support
posts without CONTENT_LENGTH, but if you are doing this
from a browser that should not be an issue.
This is really one of the cases where I would encourage you to
"just try it" before asking. If if doesn't work then you can point
out your problem on the list.
When I was at PCI I used to get questions all the time about
whether the software supported a particular format. My answer
was, try "File->Open" on it, did that work?
Best regards,
