Martin, Have you looked at the CGI runtime substitution docs?: http://mapserver.org/cgi/runsub.html
Make sure that you look at the validation section near the bottom. If the substitution works with CGI WMS, you will need validation. David.

The connection definition in my mapfile is something like this. CONNECTION "<OGRVRTDataSource><OGRVRTLayer name='select'><SrcDataSource>CSV:/vsicurl/http://<my server>/service.php</SrcDataSource><GeometryType>wkbPoint</GeometryType><SrcLayer>select</SrcLayer><LayerSRS>WGS84</LayerSRS><GeometryField encoding='PointFromColumns' x='PHOTO_LONGITUDE' y='PHOTO_LATITUDE'/></OGRVRTLayer></OGRVRTDataSource>" I would like to pass arguments to that CONNETION string so I could build dynamic request. something like this CONNECTION "<OGRVRTDataSource><OGRVRTLayer name='select'><SrcDataSource>CSV:/vsicurl/http://<my server>/service.php?param1=%PARAM1%&param2=%PARAM2%</SrcDataSource><GeometryType>wkbPoint</GeometryType><SrcLayer>select</SrcLayer><LayerSRS>WGS84</LayerSRS><GeometryField encoding='PointFromColumns' x='PHOTO_LONGITUDE' y='PHOTO_LATITUDE'/></OGRVRTLayer></OGRVRTDataSource>" I know the argument values (in my example PARAM1 and PARAM2) are OK because I'm seeing them in the error message thrown by mapserver (see below). But mapserver refuse to render the points: <?xml version='1.0' encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no" ?> <!DOCTYPE ServiceExceptionReport SYSTEM "http://schemas.opengis.net/wms/1.1.1/exception_1_1_1.dtd";> <ServiceExceptionReport version="1.1.1"> <ServiceException> msDrawMap(): Image handling error.
