Geocode Service

Provides a minimalistic web service to map IPs to countries from a local MySQL database generated from data available from maxmind.com. Uses Sinatra and MySQL. Inspired by this article: http://jcole.us/blog/archives/2007/11/24/on-efficiently-geo-referencing-ips-with-maxmind-geoip-and-mysql-gis/

Usage:

gem i bundler
bundle install
rake load_data
rackup
