Luis: Mode=map streams the created image back to the requestor. There is no file actually written to disk. A file is only created with mode=browse or the non-image query modes (e.g. query, nquery, itemquery and so on). In those cases MapServer must return a template of some type. There's no reason it has to be HTML or contain image tags.
For example, you could have a simple template like that only contains the string "[img]:[mapext]" so when processed you'd get the created image name plus it's extent. That's not a typical use case though...

I want to use the generated gif file (map) for other purposes also, (like including it in a doc file or as attachment in an e-mail) Can I tell to mapserver the name of the output gif file that I want? How can I know the name of the gif file just generated by mapserver? (without using the html <img> tag) any ideas? Thanks in advance Luis
