Hi, I am looking for a GeoCache for the WMS-C web-services of the French Géoportail (http://api.ign.fr) The problem is that they implement a specific digital right management (DRM). Did somebody adapt mod-geocache for these web-services ? Otherwise, I have developed a Php proxy script that can be used as a proxy to the web-services and manages the GeoDRM (htpp://wms.lautre.net). Il suppose that I can tell mod-geocache to use this proxy to get the tiles from the Géoportail. Does somebody have experiences on mod-geocache for this kind of need ?
Thanks in advance

If your script has a wms getmap interface, then mod-geocache will work transparently for the grids who's srs are supported by the wms. Otherwise you'll have to use a mod-geocache grid exactly aligned on the ign one, and not use metatiles.
For a more flexible setup, create a gdal http-minidriver XML file that points to your PHP script, and create a mapserver mapfile with this raster layer. You'll then be able to supply reprojection also.
