Got an direct Email back (as far as I can see not to the list). Thanks Christian,
You mean if I turn on only the png8 format (not the png) then on the demo page of geowebcache GWC Demos Page and for a specific layer (see picture attached) the option of png8 will be provided? What I want is to be able to manually seed a layer in png8 format and if this is not the way can you tell me an easy way apart from curl. In addition, can you please clarify what will be the affect if i turn on only the png8 format. Cheers, Stephanos Sorry, one should try before giving 'good' advice. You are right the effect on the content of the geowebcache demo page (http://localhost:8080/geoserver/gwc/demo) is zero. On top of it with every new start the ticks are gone. I thought it would be the purpose of settings, that they are kept. One thing you could do though - and I promise I tried this and it works - is writing the layer into the geowebcache.xml and pointing to your own server as below. In that case you see the same layer twice as 'bushfire_rone areas localhost' from GWC and 'bushfire_prone areas' from your local geoserver. <wmsLayer> <name>bushfire_rone areas localhost</name> <metaInformation> <title>bushfire_rone areas localhost</title> <description>bushfire_rone areas localhost </description> </metaInformation> <mimeFormats> <string>image/png</string> <string>image/png8</string> <string>image/jpeg</string> </mimeFormats> <gridSubsets> <gridSubset> <gridSetName>EPSG:4326</gridSetName> <extent> <coords> <double>140.962</double> <double>-39.137</double> <double>149.972</double> <double>-33.982</double> </coords> </extent> <zoomStart>0</zoomStart> <zoomStop>13</zoomStop> </gridSubset> </gridSubsets> <wmsUrl> <string>http://localhost:8080/geoserver/wms</string> </wmsUrl> <wmsLayers>bushfire_prone_areas</wmsLayers> <backendTimeout>240</backendTimeout> <cacheBypassAllowed>false</cacheBypassAllowed> <queryable>false</queryable> </wmsLayer> Cheers Christian ----- ____________________________ Dr Christian Maul Project Manager Information Services Branch Department of Sustainability and Environment Level13, Marland House, 570 Bourke Street Melbourne 3000 PO Box 500, East Melbourne Vic 3002 Telephone: +61-3-8636 2325 Telefax: +61-3-8636 2813 -- View this message in context: http://osgeo-org.1560.n6.nabble.com/Seeding-in-PNG8-format-tp4999777p5000092.html Sent from the GeoServer - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
