Hi Robert OssimPlanet has used libcurl for fetching image tiles over the network for years as the network component of our standalone Web Mapping Service library libWMS http://svn.osgeo.org/ossim/trunk/libwms/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_Map_Service With exception of the wmsCapabilitiesXXX.xx and the wmsClient.xx the library is quite generic and it's only dependency is libCurl. If one wants to include WMS support the WMS CapabilitiesParser introduces a dependency on expat. The licensing is LGPL version 2 with the same as exceptions as http://www.openscenegraph.org/osgwiki/uploads/Legal/LICENSE.txt Cheers Norman _______________________________________________ osg-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openscenegraph.org/listinfo.cgi/osg-users-openscenegraph.org
