[ckan-dev] Proxy Limits in Spatial Extension

Fri Jan 24 18:57:18 UTC 2014

Hi William,

The GeoJSON preview uses the resource proxy extension, which
unfortunately seems to have the file size limit hardcoded:

https://github.com/okfn/ckan/blob/master/ckanext/resourceproxy/controller.py#L11

It should be straight forward to make this configurable, if you are up
for sending a pull request have a look at [1] to see how to get the
value from a config option.
If not no worries! Create an issue on our repo and someone will pick
it up eventually: https://github.com/okfn/ckan/issues

Cheers,

Adrià
