[Geomoose-users] REST Services

Hi Tim,

Just one more idea to explore: when I look at the service page here:

http://maps.gis.co.brown.wi.us/arcgis/rest/services/Sirens/MapServer

I see that the only projection supported is:103404 which (I believe) is not
an EPSG code (it looks like an ESRI code, but does not come up at
www.spatialreference.org). It could be that the server is not set to
respond to requests using EPSG codes?

Either way, if you are a stakeholder / constituent of / friendly with the
service owner, I always feel that it is worth politely asking if they are
willing to "turn on" WMS support for their services - it's a simple check
box or two in the configuration on their side, and it really does serve
customers of all kinds, rather than just perpetuating vendor lock-in.

One reason governments are persuaded to buy from the big vendors is that
they "support all the standards" after all - so any opportunity for users
to encourage turning these features on is really just asking for your
money's worth as a tax payer....
