Hi all It would be great to have a mapscript equivalent for QGIS server, so the possibility to modify the request before it arrives at QgsWMSServer class.

What would be the benefit of the gateway interface class compared to other services using FastCGI? E.g. if one want to build a WFS/WPS service with QGIS, the obvious solution would be to create qgis_wps_serv.fcgi or similar. Is it the idea to have shared service functionality on service level which is specific to QGIS services? Regards, Marco Am Donnerstag, 20.
