Is there a public ESRI geometry service that we can download to do Buffer?

Question

Hi all,

I am doing the buffer task. But I can't use the geometry service in ESRI sample "http://tasks.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/Geometry/GeometryServer"...my prj manage won't allow me to use. So I am wondering is there a public geometry service that I can download and install on my machine in which I can execute the buffer task?

If it has, can you share the weblink? 🙂

If not, is there other way to do the buffer task? 
Thank you !

Yeah polygon buffering is quite a bit more complex to do 🙂

Just an idea: If you just need to do buffer on a point, a little bit of trigonometry using Cosine and Sine would get you going all on the client side, so you don't need a service

Thank you for this. 🙂 I need to buffer a polygon in current prj, so have to use the geometry service. But thank you all the same.
