Hi, I have a bunch of shapefiles in zip format for disk space reasons. And I want to be able to server their contents with mapserver. Is this possible?
I was thinking that I could use CONNECTIONTYPE OGR. And then, since gdal/ogr can read a zipped data source (per https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/UserDocs/ReadInZip), this would enable mapserver to serve such a data source. However, I am not having much luck, and I don't know if this is even supported in mapserver. My layer definition is: LAYER NAME "my_shapefile" CONNECTIONTYPE OGR CONNECTION "/vsizip/path/to/file.zip" TYPE POLYGON STATUS ON END -- View this message in context: http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/zipped-shapefile-tp5272896.html Sent from the Mapserver - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ mapserver-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users
