[Tilecache] Getting multiple tiles jumbled up for mapnik layer

[Sanjiv Singh]

I was getting it fundamentally wrong. As pointed out by Chris
OpenLayers.Layer.TileCahe is to be used only to requests tiles cached
by TileCache in a web accessible cache.  This means I should have to
pre-populate my cache before using this layer. Using
OpenLayers.Layer.TMS solves the problem.

Also, as the wsgiHandler expects URL as
/1.0.0/global_mosaic/0/0/0.jpg, I had to modify my controler to

    @expose()
    def tiles(self, *args, **kw):
        pylons.request.environ['PATH_INFO'] = '/'.join(args)
        return wsgiHandler(pylons.request.environ,
                        self.start_response, myService)

Sanjiv
