I'm assuming you have no trouble setting up a WMS service on MapServer. Test this is working with a GIS desktop client, or a simple OpenLayers web page. To develop a WMS client I'd build on top of the GDAL library. This is also included in MapServer. <blockquote> GDAL has the ability to read images from a remote WMS server, and treat them as it does any other data source: which means that it can take the images, and convert them to any other format, from JPEG2000 to GeoTIFF. </blockquote> <a href="http://crschmidt.net/blog/archives/285/producing-a-large-image-from-openaerialmap/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://crschmidt.net/blog/archives/285/producing-a-large-image-from-openaerialmap/</a> As an added bonus GDAL includes Python bindings which will help with scripting. <a href="http://pypi.python.org/pypi/GDAL/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://pypi.python.org/pypi/GDAL/</a> You will also need libcurl to access URLs. libcurl too has Python bindings - <a href="http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/python/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/python/</a> libcurl is also included in MapServer, which itself can be both a WMS server and client. You can also check out the C++ source code for how the MapServer client works - <a href="https://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/browser/branches/branch-5-6/mapserver/mapwmslayer.c" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/browser/branches/branch-5-6/mapserver/mapwmslayer.c</a> A WMS service returns an image (apart from a few extra meta services), so the custom development will be based around building the correct WMS requests based on user actions. If you want to have fast performance then have a look at TileCache which will cache the WMS results on the server for quicker use (and also cache locally).

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
