First of all, congratulations to the developers, mapserver is a very
fast and solid product (I tried geotools before).

I have some questions:

1) whether I use GET or POST, too much information exists in the url or
resulting web page about the actual location in the server of critical
files, such as the map file. I consider this a security problem.
Is there a mechanism to hide this (cookie, session id, etc)?

2) how soon will be available the JOIN feature with one-to-many results?
(mapserver 3.7.x)

3) what is faster for large data sets, postgis or shapefiles? 

4) Does tiling shapefiles improve speed for large data sets?

Thanks in advance...
