Some investigation and tests on how to upgrade Mint machine.

Tests performed on Mint Cinnamon 14/15/16, on physical machine 14->15 and VirtualBox VMs for 14->15->16 and 14->16.

As usual you could break your machine, so please do backups before and cross fingers.

Hi there!

The docker cheat sheet has moved to a Github project under https://github.com/wsargent/docker-cheat-sheet.

Please click on the link above to go to the cheat sheet.

There are a bunch of reasons why this is convoluted, mostly in building the URL to make the request:

You have to rely on an AJAX request, this example uses jQuery
To make a GetFeatureInfo request, you must provide a BBOX for a image, and the pixel coordinates for the part of the image that you want info from. A couple of squirrely lines of Leaflet code can give you that.
Output formats. The info_format parameter in the request. We don't know a priori which will be supported by a WMS that we might make a request to. See Geoserver's docs for what formats are available from Geoserver. That won't be the same from WMS to WMS, however.
WMS services return XML docs when there's a mistake in the request or in processing. This sends an HTTP 200, which jQuery doesn't think is an error.

This is a non-technical reading list for technical people.

This is a list of software you should read like a novel.
