Our Web Application is using maps.google.com API (Version 2 ) to get geocode for a location(address, city, state , zip code). It makes a XMLHTTP call from our web server which is hosted in secured environment (firewall etc). Application call looks something like below
http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?q=[loc]&output=[csv,xml,kml,json]&sensor=[true,false]&key=[apikey] We have a firewall for all the environments which restricts outbound calls to unknown IPs. Sometimes Maps.google.com IPs change and the application breaks while trying to fetch Geocodes from Google API. To get it working again, we have to modify our Firewall rule base to open the access for Google MAP services for certains IPs and Ports. We are looking for any recommendation on how to handle this scenario where in we should not have to update firewall configuration everytime Google changes IPs for maps.google.com. Also we have XML firewall in place now and are wondering if it can be used to dynamically resolve IPs using domain. does any one know if IBM Datapower XML Firewall can provide a solution to this issue? if yes any information you can provide on XML Firewall configuration would be helpful. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API V2" group.
