[Tilecache] getting tilecache 1.4 working...

[Adrian Zhao]

Thank you both very much.  I will try it later and let you know how it
goes.

I have a few other questions:

1. Can we consider TileCach as a middleware application?

2. How do I use TileCache in my application?

Client: 
We have a similar Flash client application like WorldKit to request WMS
and overlay it on the map, how do I use TileCache to take advantage of
its cache capability?

Server:
If I have a WMS server, like GeoServer, how do I integrate or tied into
TileCache?  

Thanks,
Adrian

That's because the Python code uses the PATH_INFO CGI environment
variable to parse out the request, which Microsoft inexplicably
considers a security risk:

    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q184320/

The above URL, I think, describes a workaround. If MS didn't publish
broken operating systems, of course, PATH_INFO wouldn't be the
security risk they seem to think it is.
