I believe you also need a tileset that references the source, grid(s), cache, 
format, etc… This is also where you set things like metatiling and metabuffer 
so as to minimize edge effects. The name of the tileset is what you refer to 
from you client apps…

It’s easiest to see how to call mapcache from examples I think. Mapcache comes 
configured with a demo that uses either open layers or Google Maps. You can 
access at http://host/mapcache/demo. You should see a list of services and then 
can see how they can be used (view-source).

Here’s a simple example for Google maps:

Subject: [mapserver-users] Mapcache Minimal Usage

Hi all,

I would like to start using mapcache but I found the documentation a little 
confusing. Sorry for the noob question.

Currently, I have a mapserver that answers to HTTP requests for WMS, like:

http://host/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=bla&SERVICE=WMS&bla bla bla...

I have created a mapcache file with:
1. <source> matching the above request,
2. <cache> specifying the disk cache
3. <format> specifying the PNG format
4. <service> specifying the WMS servisse
What else configuration is mandatory? I just need this configuration for now.

Finally, how do I make a request to mapcache, so it can start filling the cache 
and serving the cached data?
