    initial v2  
    1 This ticket is to add the ability to MapServer to load automatically xml mapfiles without user xslt tranformations. Basicly, MapServer will simply do a xslt transformation when the mapfile passed to is a xml one, then process the mapfile normally.

     14'''Usage:''' [[BR]]
     15In order to enable this feature, set the MS_XMLMAPFILE_XSLT environment variable to point to the location of the XSLT to use for the XML->text mapfile conversion. e.g. in Apache:
     16{{{
     17SetEnv MS_XMLMAPFILE_XSLT /path/to/mapfile.xsl
     18PassEnv MS_XMLMAPFILE_XSLT
     19}}}

     21With this enabled, passing a .xml filename to the map CGI parameter will automatically trigger the conversion.
