Yeah something like ip-geolocation-<method/service>, would definitely work. As long as I find a suitable method and service. There are lots of databases and services out there, I just need to find one that has no limit on the number of lookups and gives results with satisfiable precision.

One thing I am unsure of is, whether one script here is better than multiple. You could decide to have one script for each location service. That way you could decide to use only one of them by calling the one on the command line. On Mon, May 30, 2011 at 6:29 PM, Gorjan Petrovski <mogi57 () gmail com>

Hi, I'm currently researching methods of IP-based geolocation, so after a couple of days of browsing I've decided to consult this list. Apart from a lookup in a geolocation database (Google Geolocation API[1]), I haven't found anything that would be as useful as that method. But I really want this to be an awesome script, so if anyone has more info on other methods, I'd be pleased to hear it. There is also the Microsoft Geolocation API[2] which IE9 uses, but I haven't been able to find direct access to the API, so I guess in order to use that I'd have to emulate the protocol that IE9 uses. I've also ran into a useful book I'm going through these days[3]. On the second NSE meeting two weeks ago, there was talk about the needed execution parallelism of this script (for ex. if a range of IPs is selected). But if I'm using the Google Geolocation API through the http library and pipeline the requests, there would be no need for implementing additional parallelism, right? 1. http://code.google.com/apis/gears/geolocation_network_protocol.html 2. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg589513(v=vs.85).aspx 3.
