[mapserver-users] How would I modify a map file so that whena getcapabilities is run it outputs as tiled layers (wms-t) includinglisting resolutions listed below:

[Rahkonen Jukka]

Hi,

Just guessing, but sending resolutions with GetCapabilities could make sense for example with a client like uDig which can cache WMS-C tiles locally.  The WMS calls uDig sends in this case are just plain WMS requests and Mapserver would handle them nicely. Perhaps John would like to do something similar.

One alternatively might be to use a local, edited GetCapabilities document instead of letting Mapserver to create it on-the-fly.

Hi,

  Not sure I understand well the question: Mapserver does not support 
tiled layers by itself. Usually when doing tiles, you will use tilecache 
servers (tilecache.org, or mode-geocache 
http://code.google.com/p/mod-geocache/  ) that can be set up to   
possibly use MapServer as rendering engine .

  Wehn you mention getcapabilities, are referring to the getcapabilities 
support in the WMTS (web map tiling service from OGC)? If that is the 
case, I would recommend again to  check the tilecache libraries 
mentioned above.
If this does not reflect what you intend to accomplish, please give more 
details on what you expect from MapServer.

best regards,
