JohN: It's given as a regex in the layer metadata:

This one limits the qstring to a 1 or 2 digit integer.

Thanks Steve ... I actually got this working by looking through old
archived [mapserver-users] e-mails. I found one where someone showed an
example of this with layer metadata in the MAP file like this ...
METADATA
qstring_validation_pattern '.'
END
Which got everything working for me. If I don't hear anything else
about this, I'll assume what I did is Ok. If that is poor form or will
cause problems down the line I'll do it as you've specified above with a
more complicated regex (if theres any reason to do so). I assume this
was done for security ? The pattern matched (in my application) can be
pretty variable.
Thanks,
J.B.

We recently upgraded to a newer version of Mapserver. I'm guessing the
problem with my old scripts are due to the upgrade (seems likely).
I'm getting this error:
mapserv(): Web application error. Metadata qstring_validation_pattern is
not set.
My qstring is set by my javascript. What should the
qstring_validation_pattern look like ? Can someone direct me to an
example that shows this ? I tried to browse the online documentation
but it appears to be down.
