NeXtMidas support for WMS and GeoWebCache

NeXtMidas has support for downloading maps from a Web Map Service. A GeoWebCache acts as a proxy between a GeoServer and a map client.

In order to get cached results from a GeoWebCache, extra guildlines must be followed.

Full GeoWebCache guidelines
  1. TILED=true is included in the request
  2. Only one layer can be referenced in the getMap request
  3. Image requested same height/width saved in layer configuration
  4. The requested CRS matches one of the available tile layer gridsets
  5. The image requested lines up with the existing grid bounds
  6. Only supported Parameter filters are included in the request

Guidelines for NeXtMidas interaction with a standard GeoWebCache
  1. Include GWC=TRUE as one of the WMS Keyword Parameters
  2. LAYERS= should reference only one layer or TRANSITIONS= should be set, so only one layer is requested at a time
