[OpenLayers-Users] Caching layerimages by browsers

[Alexandre Dube]

Hi,

  If you're using Apache, you could use mod_expires :
  http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_expires.html

  If you're using fixed scales/resolutions in your application, you 
might be interested in caching the WMS images generated directly on the 
server using a "cache" server such as TileCache :
  http://tilecache.org/

Regards

Alexandre
