In order to improve the scalability of Open Source mapping on the Web,
MetaCarta Labs has developed a tool we call TileCache. TileCache acts as
a buffer between your WMS server and its clients. It accepts WMS
requests constrained by scale and bounding box (i.e., WMS-C, as
described by the OSGeo WMS Tiling Client Recommendation[1]), and returns
images that can be viewed in clients such as OpenLayers. TileCache also
supports the OSGeo Tile Map Service Specification[2], and requests in the
format supported by the WorldWind 3D globe client.
Chris,
Very interesting! We need a tool to do this.
We had previously planned on using a generic HTTP caching proxy server
such as Squid. I would be curious to read your take on the advantages
and disadvantages of choosing your tool over something like Squid.
Thanks,
Reid
