[Tilecache] Increase WMS request timeout?

[Dane Springmeyer]

Thanks Chris,

Cool. I'm fully in the python framework mindset, so this interesting  
to know.

I do recognize the value of being able to style and manipulate the  
data in a desktop gis (that' what you mean by a 'real gis', right?),  
allowing you to then publish effortlessly. I tend to write my  
stylesheets 'by hand', which has its tradeoffs. I don't have the  
benefit of a 'gis' to do my thematics and symbols, but I benefit from  
the flexibility of having the styles and tile server (in my cases  
either mapserver or mapnik) being uncoupled (if needed) with any  
particular framework or server platform.

Good luck this finding a patch for the timeouts!

Dane
