Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Demo WMS server
It is a common need; however servers are not always up (especially the JPL one as it has a great load placed on it). For the project I work on we keep a wiki page of demo servers; in the hopes that some of them are up at any point in time: - http://udig.refractions.net/confluence/display/DATA/Home Jody On 12/05/2010, at 1:40 AM, Jochen Topf wrote: > I am just working on a piece of Open Source software that can access WMS > servers.

I'd like to have some kind of demo server that could be configured in the software by default so that people have a working configuration directly after install which makes it easier for them to get going. The server doesn't have to do much, just deliver a simple world map or so. I looked around a bit for suitable demo servers, but didn't find any. It should be something with a reasonable chance that it will be around for a while. I could imagine that other people have the same problem.

I don't have access to any OSGeo hosts, but would be willing to help with the setup. Anyways, back on topic, if you want you can use http://demo.opengeo.org/geoserver and in particular: http://demo.opengeo.org/geoserver/ows?service=wms&version=1.1.1&request=GetCapabilities (the server provides also WFS and WCS services, with a few layers WFS-T editable) The set of layers is still a bit messy but I'm planning to publish at least the ThematicMapping.org country layer and maybe later during the month the natural earth dataset.

No joy here either. No firewall, no nothing, from USofA. AS On Tue, May 11, 2010 at 1:57 PM, Jason Birch wrote: > Works for me. > > Do you have a corporate firewall?
