[OpenLayers-Users] WMS request timeout during zoom/pan/resize

Hi Jon,

thanks for your reply. The raster images are so called "gridded" imeges of satellites measurements.
They have to be done globally and are created on the fly taken the data points from a PostGIS db.

Hence every zoom/pan/resize action triggers the data request and the creation of the "gridded" raster image.

That is the reason why i'am trying to delay the creation till the zoom/pan/resize interaction comes to an halt.

Thanks and Regards
Heiko
