[mapserver-users] Layer manipulation via CGI URL parameters

[Ed McNierney]

Folks -

Last week, with help from Steve Lime and Steve Woodbridge, I figured out why I was unable to add features to an annotation layer via URL parameters (i.e. with a URL like ...&map_annolayer_feature=new&map_annolayer_feature_points=20+20...)

The problem was that the NAME string for the feature in my map file was not defined in all lowercase!  I promised I'd post the explanation, so here it is.  When I have a chance I'll look at the code for a fix, but in the meantime just define layers which are to be manipulated with CGI parameters by using lowercase names only.
