Hi Seth,

I opened a new issue: #7450
<https://github.com/MapServer/MapServer/issues/7450>.
I tried to upload the TGZ archive, containing the GPKG file, but it was
refused.
Thus, I gave a link to my google drive, but this is not really "safe" as
this data may not be available "for ever".

Is there a way to upload TGZ on github?

Philippe

Hi,

By the documentation .tgz should be supported https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/writing-on-github/working-with-advanced-formatting/attaching-files#archive-and-compressed-files. But is that any better than zip?

Hello,

I have a WMS service on the internet. Is it possible to secure it so that only certain users can access it?

With a security token or something similar? Any experience with this?

Best Regards
