#3599 new enhancement

Improve documentation of the mapfile security things

Description

There should be one locasion in some easy place in the documentation that collects all the security maneuvers (magic strings, expression validation) which are compulsory or useful in the mapfile. I think that a new subtitle "security" under mapfile document http://mapserver.org/mapfile/index.html might be a good place. To begin with, the security section might contain the main points of http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/mapserver-users/2009-March/060600.html and some information about where and how validation rules are used. Now this essential information is scattered around the documentation.

Should include the Apache variables introduced in RFC56 (MS_MAP_PATTERN and MS_MAP_NO_PATH). See also #2977. These don't seem to have a home at the moment.
