Hi List I am just setting up a web server for use with mapserver. Targeted use will be php-mapscript and wms map serving.
I was just looking through my mapfiles in order to find file system based configurations like shapepath, imagepath etc. Stumbling over imagepath and imageurl parameters, I was wondering for what reason mapserver stores the images in the temporary folder before serving them to the user. When querying mapserver as a wms, there are no temporary files, so this does not seem to be a necessary step to provide a map image to the user. Does mapserver reuse these images? Or is the temporary files approach a remain from more static web map pages where the image could be reused more often? Coming to my next question, I presume that my php code causes the storage of the image - $mapimageurl = $mapimage->saveWebImage(); Is it possible to deliver the image directly to the browser instead of passing an URI? _______________________________________________ mapserver-users mailing list mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users
