[Tilecache] getting tilecache 1.4 working...

[Adrian Zhao]

I am assuming that you guys are writing a long reply for my previous
message.

Here are two quick questions:

1. What is the purpose of seeding the cache? How important?
2. Do you have some example configuration file for using a
MapServerLayer

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.
