[Tilecache] Reverse Engineer

[Matthew Atkins]

I should be shot for not taking a closer look in the actual
OpenLayers.Layer.TileCache class before asking this question. All of the
data needed (bounds, zoom level, etc.) is used within that
class/function to determine what the folder and file structure is for
all of the individual tiles. So, if I wanted to I could just append this
info as a querystring to the images requested for a TileCache layer and
create my own 404 handler to take in that information and perform the
needed operations.

If you want stuff rendered on the fly, why not just send everything
through tilecache in the first place?

Have a nice day,
