Hi,

instead of forcing to use --user on installation which might not be desired for everyone, how about an additional flag on installation that allows to specify a custom location for the database on which the user has write access?

Cheers

Hi there, I found that the .get_epsg() method would hang without responding, blocking execution permanently if the call to the backup API, http://prj2epsg.org/search.json was not responding.

Can you perhaps have this fail gracefully, or provide the option to let the user specify that it not fall back to the API at all?

Thank you! Really appreciate your work on this.

I use the wkt like this PROJCS[\"UTM Zone 50, Northern Hemisphere\",GEOGCS[\"WGS 84\",DATUM[\"WGS_1984\",SPHEROID[\"WGS 84\",6378137,298.257223563,AUTHORITY[\"EPSG\",\"7030\"]],TOWGS84[0,0,0,0,0,0,0],AUTHORITY[\"EPSG\",\"6326\"]],PRIMEM[\"Greenwich\",0,AUTHORITY[\"EPSG\",\"8901\"]],UNIT[\"degree\",0.0174532925199433,AUTHORITY[\"EPSG\",\"9108\"]],AUTHORITY[\"EPSG\",\"4326\"]],PROJECTION[\"Transverse_Mercator\"],PARAMETER[\"latitude_of_origin\",0],PARAMETER[\"central_meridian\",117],PARAMETER[\"scale_factor\",0.9996],PARAMETER[\"false_easting\",500000],PARAMETER[\"false_northing\",0],UNIT[\"Meter\",1]] to find the epsg code, it is ok in mac os, but error in windows, I found that the wkt do not in the database esri_epsg.db, but ok in mac os. than we replace the esri_epsg.db file. it worked.

Hello,
Does anyone knows about an alternative to prj2epsg.org service? I've been using sridentify successfully, but noticed that prj2epsg.org is down for like a month now and I cannot find a way to automatically detect EPSG code without using GUI tools.

Thank you!

Since .prj files are supposed to be small text files, there's no point in reading the whole file into memory. Rather, it should determine the minimum amount of bytes necessary for determining if the input file is even something worth querying the database. This is to mitigate against accidentally trying to read in a gigantic file and as a security precaution against malicious code execution.
