Thank you for this.

Yes, it is. It looks fine so far. Well, the next version will have a more informative final message. > How do I use it? > And although it lets me type things at the terminal (like your example > queries), it does not respond - is it really listening on standard input? Yes, it does. It waits until the input stream is finished. So, please finish the input stream by Ctrl+D when you type at the console (works in general on all UNIX consoles). A more convenient way (especially when invoking it in a tool chain) might be to pass a file with the content to it. For example echo '<query type="node"><bbox-query n="51.0" s="50.9" w="6.9" e="7.0"/><has- kv k="amenity" v="pub"/></query><print/>' | bin/osm3s_query --no-mime --db- dir=YOUR_DB_DIR > Your instructions on the wiki say "put a query on the standard input", but > when I start osm3s_query it prints out: > > encoding remark: No input found from GET method.

It's a leftover from the purpose of using it via the CGI interface of a web browser. > Sorry if this is obvious - I haven't tried to look at your code to see what > it is doing! Questions are always welcome. Even if it were obvious (it is not), it is still a good hint for me how to improve the instructions. > The other question is whether anyone has written a php script (or similar) > to make this emulate xapi queries to use as a direct replacement for xapi? AFAIK no yet. I think it would be feasible for /map?bbox=.. (gets '<bbox-query n="" s="" w="" e=""/><print/>') /node[..] (with or without bbox) (like the first query in the instructions, maybe without bbox) /way[..] (gets '<query type="way"><has-kv k="" v=""/></query><print/>' or maybe '<query type="way"><has-kv k=""/></query><print/>' /relation[..] (gets '<query type="relation"><has-kv k="" v=""/></query><print/>') /* (all three without bbox) (gets: <union> <query type="node"><has-kv k="" v=""/></query> <query type="way"><has-kv k="" v=""/></query> <query type="relation"><has-kv k="" v=""/></query> </union> <print/> ) but the other queries may get more difficult.
