[OSM-dev] Bing in JOSM

[Peter Körner]

Hi

I created a tms2bing redirector that runs on php & apache. It can be 
used together with the slippymap plugin in josm. I tested it on 
localhost but I'm hesitating to host it on my private server as long as 
nobody checked if it is okay to use the bing api like that.

Especially the usage note in the index.html is definitely not enough and 
needs patches (or simply texting).

It works for z1-17. The Sourcecode can be found at [1]. What we would 
need to get it up is:

  - better texting for the index-page
  - a go from above for this kind of usage

Hosting would not be that issue as the requests are simply answered by a 
redirect, so no image-data needs to be served.

Peter
