<div dir="ltr">Hello Dominic Napoleon,<div><br></div><div>Most web server software such as Apache httpd, NginX and HAproxy are capable of proxying any http or https requests. So these can also be used for proxying of (vector-) tiles and WFS.</div><div><br></div><div>Besides just proxying raster data, MapProxy has several other features, such as caching, reprojecting and support for multiple service types (wms, wms-c, tms, wmts, etc.) plus providing capabilities (service metadata) and extra services like legend requests or feature info requests.</div><div><br></div><div>If you want similar features for vector data, such a proxy software would be able to retrieve vector data from many different sources, cache the data as vector tiles and would be able to reproject and stitch tiles together in order to support several vector data retrieval formats and services (wfs, kml?, geojson?, ).</div><div><br></div><div>I am not currently aware of such vector-data proxying software. If anyone knows about a project that does for vector data and services what MapProxy does for raster data and services, I would also very much like to learn about that.</div><div><br></div><div>One solution might be NginX configured as a caching proxy for proxying vector tiles from a remote source. Such an NginX service would only support vector tiles. If tiles are in the cache, NginX can deliver them very quickly. If not available, you can configure NginX to retrieve new tiles from for instance a database or other external source. Remote sources are mostly much slower but retrieval needs to be done only once per unique vector data tile.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Another solution might be Geoserver. Geoserver can convert many vector sources into vector tiles. It also supports WFS. However, I believe Geoserver cannot currently retrieve and manage vector tiles or WFS data from remote servers / services (=proxying) very efficiently? </div><div><br></div><div>Anne</div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">2017-10-09 19:17 GMT+02:00 Napoleon, Dominic <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:dominic.napoleon@rgi-corp.com" target="_blank">dominic.napoleon@rgi-corp.com</a>></span>:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

<p>Hey all,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I'm looking for a solution like MapProxy but which supports proxying vector map data, like vector tiles or WFS. Is there such a program out there already that can cache and serve vector data?</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
