[Gdal-dev] Re: DODS/OPeNDAP driver updates

[James Gallagher]

Paul,

MapServer uses GDAL to read rasters, so it'll be able to read rasters
from OPeNDAP servers by using GDAL. There's some configuration that must
be done for each OPeNDAP data source given the nature of virtually all
of those and the requirements of GIS applications, but it's documented.

I'm pretty sure that Dan is in touch with the MapServer folks to work
out the logistical details of getting a demo up and running.

Since this is less of a technical issue, we should probably spare the
GDAL list folks and take this off line (list?). :-)
