[mapserver-users] mapserver as a tiling client for an untiled WMS

[DeDuikertjes]

Michael,

Thank you.

Do I understand correctly that this GDAL WMS Minidriver with this xml 
file for a given map area (bounding box) will do a series of "normal" 
WMS requests (as opposed to "tiled" WMS requests) to the server to 
obtain a set of tiles which will be stitched together and incorporated 
in the map?

MArco
