Can this be used for TMS-style HTTP requests? #1

I mean something like /{x}/{y}/{z}?

I'm wondering if such a thing is possible for Cloud Optimized GeoTiffs? I know there's also https://github.com/hotosm/oam-dynamic-tiler (which I'm helping with), but it doesn't support GeoTiffs as far as I know yet.

Hi @tombh. As far as I know, Mapserver does not have a TMS/WTMS endpoint. In the past, I've put a lightweight proxy in front of WMS that would take /{x}/{y}/{z}/ coordinates and proxy to WMS. Check out ZXY to WMS Proxy.

If your site will be high traffic, you may want to check out something like MapCache or MapProxy which can act like a TMS -> WMS proxy, while also caching the resulting images.

Great answer, that's given me lots to research and think about, thank you :)
