I find the whole validation issue difficult and not well documented (http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/3754, last updated four hours ago). How do I put all validation off? I really don need that much security.

I see the problem, just not sure how to fix it. Steve W. provided some possibilities but that's probably not the only approach. It would be helpful if some interested person(s) got together and drafted an RFC. I think the devs would be in a position to help define implementation details if the problem is well defined along with a proposed solution.

Hi,

Validation is nowadays needed in quite a many places in a mapfile. However, we who live outside the English speaking world tend to have more characters in the alphabet than A to Z. This makes the mapfile validation idea only half effective because for making things to work at all with the native data we must accept almost everything that is non-numeric with wildcards. Are there others who think that this is a problem?
