Thanks for a very neat answer, Travis.

Yes they do support WMS at the page bottom, but in much their own way, 
that's not a long way further ;-)
<ServiceException code="InvalidData">  Cannot read capabilities file.   
</ServiceException>
On a nearby server, the file is found but it says  the server supports 
4326 whereas only 31370 is.

On the other hand, it's unfortunate that Mapproxy does not implement an 
{insert} feature à la JOSM.
I hacked the URL and appended everything but size that Mapproxy does not 
output to get that server responding.
The &bbox worked, but the request returned a default 400×400 size tile 
that was displayed by the client !!!
The only thing I need is &size={width},{height} !!!
Yet another best value for money suggestion from me, but I get no reply.

Why make "just a little bit" different request formats?  Like the just a 
little bit pregnant girl :-)

Maybe could I build a cache by limiting the WMS requests to 256×256 and 
adding &size=256,256 ?

Inventively yours,

Cheers,

Cheers,

André.
