Image Caching

[Bart van den Eijnden]

Hi,

Google can't search into the archives anyomore because they are not publicly accessible only for registered users.

So look at:

http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mapserver-dev.html

And click search the archives.

Best regards,
Bart

Thanks for the reply.

Google didn't return anything for "Sally's Summit Summary" or either of the
first two words by themselves when pointed at mapserver-dev archives. I
searched for "cache" as well, but couldn't come up with anything useful.

Currently there is no mechanism for this. There has been talk of
implementing this though. Search the mapserver-dev archives for "Sally's
Summit Summary".

Best regards,

Is there any way to tell mapserver to cache the images produced by the WMS
service and then replay those on an identical request later to speed things
up significantly?

Basically, I want a mapserver backend to Google Maps. Right now, I've gotten
two WMS layers similar to Google's Hybrid mode. I do have caching set up so
that mapserver isn't being used to draw most of the tiles, but I would like
this functionality behind the WMS service itself instead of in front.

Here's my demo:

And another demo using Google's roads layer:
