Atlas Middleware

Rack middleware components to support NBADW Atlas maps.

Includes the following:

• Place Name Search Powered by Natural Resources Canada’s CGNS (Canadian Geographical Names Service), an on-line web service providing information about Canada’s geographical names including location, status, classification and other details with each official geographical name.

• Postal Code Lookup Powered by the CGDI Postal Code Lookup Service which returns geometries for known forward sortation area (FSA) postal codes.

• ArcGIS Server REST Proxy Provides proxied access to ESRI’s ArcGIS Server 9.3 REST interface. Useful for handling XHR requests without having to worry about the same origin security policy enforced by browsers.
