Alternatives to GeoWebCache?

Question

Does anyone know alternatives to GeoWebCache (GWC)?

There's TileCache, but it seems to be "dead" in terms of no more development taking place. In addition to that i can't figure out how to cache a protected WMS with TIleCache (basic auth).

Answer 1

TileCache isn't dead: it works great and has an active mailing list. (I'd call it "mature".)

To use TileCache with a protected WMS, look at these two references on the mailing list:

• patch allowing the TileCache client to make authenticated requests
• discussion of how to authenticate requests to a TileCache server (if you have content you want to protect)
