[Openstreetmap] Keyval... feature request

[Nick Whitelegg]

Hello Steve,

Sorry to follow-up my own message but I can now add extra info and have a
feature request...

Managed to write a cURL program to "put" osm-format nodes to the server. It
worked, but I tried specifying the keyval (tags='name:Bloggs Street') and
it wasn't taken up (requesting the node later resulted in a blank tags
attribute).

Also I have a feature request.... I had a go at "put"ting multiple nodes.
It worked, but the response from the newnode script (i.e. the IDs assigned
to the node) was all on one line.

I would like to call the API from osm-editor to add nodes and segments to
OSM. The way I am intending to do this is as follows:

PUT all the nodes in a track to OSM
Receive back the assigned IDs
Use the assigned IDs to construct segments within osm-editor
PUT the resulting segments to OSM

However this will be much easier (from a parsing the IDs point of view) if
each ID sent back from newnode (if you PUT multiple nodes) is on a separate
line.

Anyway... thanks a lot for doing the OSM format and the keyval, can really
work on making osm-editor and freemap hook up to osm now :-)

Nick
