JOSM URL is http://irs.gis-lab.info/?layers=landsat; Please consider updating JOSM defaults. Do you want it to show up in the list on the bottom, or make it installed by default instead of the standard landsat URL? Are you sure, you can handle the traffic? This server also provides IRS imagery for Russia for quite a long time. I'm sure it will be able to handle traffic. So, worth trying installing it by default. Done. Now, we need a convenient way to load that imagery into josm. An extenstion to josm-remote that will load specified WMS URL will be just fine. Hope somebody will write it, as I'm no java coder, unfortunately. There are some security issues when the browser has too much control over the client software. As far as I know, josm-remote has options that lets paranoid users disable some of its features if they dislike that. OK, the question is: Make it opt-in or opt-out? Let's wait till it's ready, then we can decide... Sebastian ___ josm-dev mailing list josm-dev@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/josm-dev
Re: [josm-dev] WMS requiring an EULA acceptance
Again, the idea is not to build up a fortress. It is well known that if someone really want to catch the images, he will be able to do so anyway. The request to show and accept the uela is coming from the jurists, I cannot change that. What I would like to know is if it is possible and how I could do it in JOSM/WMS plugin without disturbing the main stream. Solution requiring no modification of JOSM or WMS plugin could be that the URL will require some parameter, like http://wms-server?SERVICE=WMSREQUEST=GetMapeula_check=something Value for that parameter will not be included in presets and for that JOSM to work, user will have to browse to the site with EULA, agree to the EULA and after that the site will tell him what to put in place of the parameter, like eula_check=p45gG0h5w (or perhaps it can tell him entire WMS URL, includnig the parameter) Requests without correct value of eula_check parameter will be denied on the WMS server side ans since the only way to get the parameter will be by reading and accepting EULA - problem solved. Perhaps also add clause to disallow telling value of the parameter to other people if it is already not in the EULA. Then it should be completely safe (from lawyers point of view) Martin ___ josm-dev mailing list josm-dev@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/josm-dev
