[Geomoose-users] Identify upon Geocode

[Jeffrey Schmitz]

Using live headers (a firefox plugin) , I was able to see an example
of how the identify tool calls identify.php:

For a point:

identify.php?layers=labels/lakes_labels:labels/counties_labels:labels/cities_labels:base_pt/cities_and_towns:urban_areas/railroad:urban_areas/roads:glifwc_base/rivers_and_streams:glifwc_base/lakes:glifwc_base/counties:glifwc_base/ceded_territories:glakes/great_lakes&shape=POINT(-10286063.071215
6018717.9989274)&_moosetime=1281388224223

For a shape:

identify.php?layers=labels/lakes_labels:labels/counties_labels:labels/cities_labels:base_pt/cities_and_towns:urban_areas/railroad:urban_areas/roads:glifwc_base/rivers_and_streams:glifwc_base/lakes:glifwc_base/counties:glifwc_base/ceded_territories:glakes/great_lakes&shape=POLYGON((-10306421.581625
5947463.2124921,-10306421.581625 6100152.0405678,-10230077.167587
6100152.0405678,-10230077.167587 5947463.2124921,-10306421.581625
5947463.2124921))&_moosetime=1281388715432

It looks like the key parts are:
layers=*path to layer*:*path to layer*:*path to layer* (each layer is
separated by a colon)
shape= either POLYGON((*four bounding coordinates separated by
commas*)) or POINT(*the point coordinates*)
_moostime= I'm pretty sure this is just a millisecond representation
of the time that the identify action occured

Don't forget to have a & between each of the variables.

Hopefully this helps you out!
