Error: error in unzip: code 9 about shapefile

[humphd]

@mbostock I didn't realize there were two, so was using substack's. I've retested the above failing case with shapefile instead and it worked perfectly! Sorry for the confusion.

You might want to take this problem to the shp2json issue tracker. It looks like this error has already been reported there: https://github.com/substack/shp2json/issues/23

Ah, thanks. Sorry I filed here vs. there in the first place. Thanks for the link.

@mbloch This library also exports a shp2json binary. @humphd Are you using this library’s shp2json or substack’s shp2json?

[mbloch]

Gosh, sorry about that. @mbostock...

I took a look at the file (because I'm always looking for tricky Shapefiles).

The file is unusual for a POINT type Shapefile, in that the features that lack valid coordinates use -1.7976931348623157e+308 for their x and y coordinate values. The Shapefile format uses large negative values to indicate null values in attribute data, but I haven't seen this convention used for coordinate data before.

The usual way to store Shapefile features without valid geometry is as a NULL type feature.

This might cause errors in some tools.

Great!
