[mapserver-users] zipped shapefile

[lagrange123]

Hi,

I have a bunch of shapefiles in zip format for disk space reasons. And I
want to be able to server their contents with mapserver. Is this possible?

I was thinking that I could use CONNECTIONTYPE OGR. And then, since gdal/ogr
can read a zipped data source (per
https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/UserDocs/ReadInZip), this would enable
mapserver to serve such a data source. However, I am not having much luck,
and I don't know if this is even supported in mapserver.

My layer definition is:

LAYER
		NAME "my_shapefile"
		CONNECTIONTYPE OGR
		CONNECTION "/vsizip/path/to/file.zip"
		TYPE POLYGON
		STATUS ON
END
