Hi list,
I have a rather simple question about the state of WMS tile caching. The
wiki pages content is mostly one or two years old now:
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/WMS_Tile_Caching
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/WMS_Tiling_Client_Recommendation
I took a look at
http://www.tilecache.org/ and
http://geowebcache.org/trac
but wasn't able to confidently answer my question.
Can WMS tiles be cached by the server for any WMS client and still serve
WMS according to the standard?
I know that a you can constrain WMS requests to a predefined grid if you
control the client's request, but what if you don't control the client's
request, can caching still be done?
[to provide some context for the curious ones, it's for a public
prototype for Canadian weather data dissemination and we're pretty
excited about it - however, because weatheroffice.ec.gc.ca is the most
visited Canadian website (that's what they tell us, but I guess
google.com/.ca probably comes first), we need caching capabilities]
Thanks a lot for any related information,
Alex
