Hi, On my github repository at http://github.com/jocelynj/viking, I have two branches that might be interesting.
1) http://github.com/jocelynj/viking/commits/dragdrop This branch contains one commit to make map drag and drop working correctly - this means that when you click on the map, and keep the button pressed, you should have the map moving with the mouse, like on Openstreetmap website. I haven't check if this commit degrades viking performance, but I don't think so. 2) http://github.com/jocelynj/viking/commits/etag This branch contains some commits to add etag support for maps download. Etag is simply a code that a website can send alongside a picture, and can be returned by the client to the server so that the serveur checks if there is a new picture to send. If the Etag is correct, then no new picture is sent. This is in fact the same behaviour than with If-Modified-Since, except that Etag is stored in a file which is put in the same directory than the picture. I have added this because mapnik server uses Etag - I think that this is the only map source in viking that uses Etag. I'm not fully happy with the implementation because it forces developers to configure each map layer if it uses If-Modified-Since or Etag mechanisms. I think it would be better if viking could choose the mechanism to use according to the headers received in the previous fetch.
