[mapserver-users] box substitution for ogr layers

2011-04-11 Thread Frederic Junod
Hello,

Is it possible to have a !BOX! substitution for an OGR layer
(CONNECTION value) ? The box substitution seems only available to
postgis layers.

What I'm trying to have is something like:

MAP
  ...
  LAYER
NAME world_borders
TYPE POLYGON
CONNECTIONTYPE OGR
CONNECTION http://www.example.com/world_borders.json?bbox=!BOX!;
...
  END
END

Regards,
fredj

fredj,

This seems like a plausible thing to add but I'm hesitant to do it at
this late point in the release cycle.  Could you file an enhancement
ticket with the request?

Best regards,
