<div class="">We’ve updated the existing <a href="http://landsat-pds.s3.amazonaws.com/index.html" class="">JavaScript S3 Explorer</a> to use the right endpoints to download files, but we need to resolve a few things before we’re happy with it.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">1. It doesn’t update the URL in the browser as you navigate. I.e. If I click into row 100 and path 050 and try to copy and paste the URL from my browser, it will just send you back to where you started.</div>
<div class="">2. For the basic directory navigation, it’s way too crufty. We don’t need tables for that. We need lists!</div>
<div class="">3. I don’t want to use this approach for the individual scene index.html files. Scene index.html should be more or less like Frank’s and should be easy for search engines to index.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">A few questions for Frank:</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">1. What’s expensive about the current approach? Is it the fact that all of the path/row index.html files need to be re-written every time a new scene is added?</div>
<div class="">2. What are the pain points for creating the scene specific index.html files? As far as search engine indexing goes, we wouldn’t need much info in plain text other than the scene name and some boiler plate language. </div>
<div class="">3. What do you think about creating a site map and updating it with URLs for individual scenes as they’re created? That way we don’t have to worry about crawlers not knowing how to navigate the JavaScript tree browser but can just get a list of
every scene’s URL?</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I’ll keep noodling on the JavaScript explorer.</div>

<div class="">Again, Celebration! Thanks to everyone who worked on this – but mostly Frank ;) We got a lot done in a very short amount of time. </div>

</div>
<div class="">Good news, we are now caught up to the USGS feed, and modulo occasional wedges in the pipeline, and 503 related delays from USGS we should be up-to-date within a couple hours of USGS offering scenes.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">There is an open ticket on semi-broken index.html files for scenes without the RGB bands I plan to work on soon, but I don't think that is too significant.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I mentioned the script that creates the index files at higher levels in the tree and this is running, but I'd like to drop that if Jed can offer a more dynamic (and less expensive to update) tree browser. I will say, the benefit of the plain
index.html files is that very ordinary web crawlers can walk them.</div>
