Firefox & IE doesn't work with GeoTIFF

[Rahkonen Jukka]

Hi,
 
Your browser wouln'tget any advantage from the georeferencing information of GeoTIFF.  If you want to show the image on your browser you can use other formats. If you, however, need just GeoTIFFs then you can store it on disk first.  I believe it is also possible to register some external program to be used in opening tiff files from the web.  At least my browser seems to start Quick time player.

Aihe: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Firefox & IE doesn't work with GeoTIFF



Hi, List!

In a example (Mapserver Itasca Application) I've changed
output format to IMAGETYPE GTIFF.


The result - I can see it (geotiff image file) only in Safari (MacOSX 
10.4.9).

Not working:
Mozilla 1.7.4 (from WinXP machine)
IE6 (from WinXP)
Firefox 2.0.0.4 (from MacOSX 10.4.9)
I can't find any TIFF plugin to Firefox/Mozilla.

Is this normal?

My server:
iMac + MacOSX 10.4.9
Mapserver 4.10.2
PHP 5.1.2

Best regards, Igor Evdokimov.
