Actually, in addition to this, it would be great if you could allow the date to be specified in the path, i.e. allow us to make requests in the form of http://www.nearmap.com/maps/<nmd>/<z>/<x>/<y>.jpg (where <nmd> is the date) The following related example of an "apache mod_rewrite instance" is from http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Nearmap#SlippyMap_Plugin_.28Method_2.2C_Using_hosted_URL_rewriting.29: # Allows JOSM slippymap to browse the NearMap Aerial coverage 20091015 RewriteRule nearmap.aerial.slippymap.20091015/(.+)/(.+)/(.+).jpg http://www.nearmap.com/maps/nmd=20091015&nml=Vert&x=$2&y=$3&z=$1 [L,R=permanent] _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
