I wonder if anyone has tackled the problem of guessing country, city for a given IP. Of all the server side solutions that I'm aware of, maxmind, seems to have the best data. I know that there are REST, RPC, etc based solutions, but given GAE restrictions on duration of requests, I wouldn't go that route due to latency, time outs, etc
So, the issue is how to move maxmind data to GAE. Note that geoLite city CSV is pretty large (~ 100 MB) (btw, it will make a nice dent in the allowed quota ) http://www.maxmind.com/app/geolitecity Anyhow, I wonder what would be the best strategy to upload the data: bulk uploader v.s. approcket. For app rocket, which I just saw in the blog post, I'll need to load the data to a SQL database Another solution is to do IP to location on the client side, but I don't know of any services that are reliable and fast.
