[Article] How to enable HTTP Compression for OGC WMS XML data

With mobile client, data size is the one of the most important factor. For this reason, XML is not a good data format because of its burden. But thanks to HTTP Compression, now we can optimize OGC WMS XML response data to save bandwidth.

HOW TO enable HTTP compression in popular web servers:
Apache Tomcat HTTP Connector
Apache Module mod_deflate configuration
Enabling HTTP Compression in IIS 6.0

Make sure you enable HTTP Compression for these MIME-Types:
application/vnd.ogc.wms_xml,text/xml,text/plain,application/xml,application/vnd.google-earth.kml+xml

JVNMobileGIS will support GZIP in the next released version.

JVNMobileGIS in Dutch

Dutch is the new language support in JVNMobileGIS. Thanks CathodioN for your great contribution.
Version 1.0.3 is going to be released with Dutch support and some small bug fixes. Wish I have time to support GZIP in next version.

JVNMobileGIS was planned for OSGeo IncCom_Meeting11

From Mr. Frank Warmerdam's email in OSGeo Incubator mailing list:

This puts us in a position with three pending applications and no
slots open. Once a project has graduated (likely OpenLayers shortly)
we will need to select a next project for incubation. The available
projects are:

JVNMobileGIS
GeoMOOSE
GEOS

Details on them all can be found at:

http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/query?status=new&status=assigned&component=Incubator&keywords=%7Eapplication

A big day is coming to JVNMobileGIS.
