Hi to everyone, last week we sent the following request to this forum:

Here at politecnico di Milano we are trying to implement the direct download of a raster file. So far, we tried to perform a WCS call to geoserver, but this returned a derivative version of the raster file while we are interested in returning the file itself.

So, we tried to add a column in the ogp search panel and download the file directly from the url taken from the “fileDownload” field in the metadata as suggested in the readme.md file in the ogp2 documentation. This solution seems to work, but it’s totally client-side and we fear that it may not be interoperable. We also liked how Harvard handles the download with the email method, but we don’t have any clue on how to replicate that.

Does anybody have any suggestion on a different way to achieve the direct download of the file? A server-side solution would be great for us also!

Right now we are stuck with the project and we are running short of time,so we would be very grateful if someone could give a feedback to our questions shortly.
