Mapserver is only requested as wms, so no mode=map or mode=browse is used.
Is it possible to somehow implement mode=browse or mode=map with a wms
server?
And if this results in the images being written to disk; is there script
available to transfer the request to a image that is allready on disk?
my webserver had perl, python and asp.net a scripting languages
available, so preferably a script would be in one of these languages.
Any commercial suggestions would also be appreciated.

As Richard said, if you are using cgi with mode=map, no image is written
to disk, it is just streamed to the client.
If you are using cgi in mode=browse, the default mode, you will write
images to the temp folder.

Hi Milo,
it depends how you use mapserver:
- as a cgi
- using mapserver/php script (mapscript)
Using it as a cgi (as you do), there will be no temporary images: upon
creating the map-image the image is streamed to the client. Using
mapscript, mapscript generates an image and a page in which there
is an url to THIS image. This url is unique on every request: no caching
either.
Caching is rather difficult with current clients: every url/bbox is
almost unique.
IF the extent, and everything is always the same (as you say), you could
try to arrange something with a webproxy/cache (in front of mapserver),
this will then serve a cached version of your image. But this has not
something to do with mapserver(s temp directory).
OR you should use a tiling server, and a client which can use that. With
tiles your are caching.

Hello list,
My mapserver is not running optimal.
I serve a global bathymetry raster and the maps that users request are
always based upon a fixed extent (country boundaries)
- Somehow nothing happens in my map-temp directory, I see no temp
files
appear.
- If I manage to get temp files into my map-temp, will mapserver use
them as cache?
- Are there other ways to set up caching with mapservers?
Any tip at all will be highly appreciated.
Kind regards,
Milo van der Linden
