Group,

I was wondering if there was a way to use the OpenLayers.Layer.TileCache
without a complete cache and have the server handle 404's gracefully by
doing a request to the TileCache (or WMS) script to fill in the missing
data and help complete the cache ... any thoughts?

So, if the following resource was accessed:
http://my.server.com/cache/basic/01/000/000/001/000/000/003.png

And the result would normally be a 404 from the server is it possible to
take the URL path (TileCache folder/file structure) and work backwards
to find out what the WMS request would be to grab this tile?

Thanks in advance for your help!
