[MapProxy] using Mapproxy with Mapserver - setting correct resolutions with applications that assume different DPI

[Oliver Tonnhofer]

Hi Mark,

MapProxy doesn't really use scales, but resolutions and resolutions are DPI independent. Check out `mapproxy-util scales` to convert from scales to resolutions.

You need to use the DPI from your client (OpenLayers) to convert from the client scales (1:1000, 1:4000, …) to resolutions for MapProxy.
