I found myself in the need/wish to do that, and more, like enabling/disabling TMS, WMTS, etc, but every time hit my head against the wall due to lack of time to improve GWC itself enough as to being able to do that (properly). But yeah, it's also on my radar of things to improve, like in GWC is not a service by itself but provides a bunch of services, and I'd like a config page for each just like for WMS/WFS/etc., where you can enable/disable them and set other properties. By the other side there's the general GWC settings page for things like wms integration, global quota, etc. Cheers, Gabriel. > > > A per-layer quota limit is also possible, but configuring that from the > > GeoServer UI is part of a wider plan, so it'll take longer to arrive. > > Good to know it's in the plans anyways. > > >> I guess it would be nice, but it would be better to do that only if GWC > >> is around, and without introducing a dependency.
