[MapProxy] Re: seed only question

[DeDuikertjes]

Oliver,

Thank you, I'm again really impressed. Mapproxy behaves just as I like. 
A great product!

There is a wish however: I need to cache a shaky WMS. Sometimes this WMS 
will return something which is not a valid image, or nothing at all. 
Later it will return a valid image for the same request. Would it 
somehow be possible to write (transparent ?) error-tiles (symlinked just 
like singe colour tiles) when the number of retries is exceeded during 
the seeding process? Now I get an exception.
Error tiles would enable me to identify problem area's en try and reseed 
those tiles later.

Thank you, MArco

A transparent image for TMS and an empty image for WMS (depends on bgcolor/transparent WMS parameter).

That layer and only that layer should be missing (transparent) then.
