[Geowanking] building DOQs from terraserver

[Sonny Parafina]

FYI, Terraserver also supports the OGC WMS interface.

Here's the service url

http://terraservice.net/ogcmap.ashx

and capabilities document:

http://terraserver.microsoft.com/ogccapabilities.ashx?version=1.1.1&request=
getcapabilities&service=wms

I'm not sure of the purpose of caching and tiling.  Is it for off-line use
such as gpsdrive?

Just when I thought there was only three different Terraserver caching
methods:

  $url =
"http://terraserver.homeadvisor.msn.com/tile/tile.asp?S=10&T=1&X=${x}&Y=${y}
&Z=${utmzone}\n";
  if (! -f "tilecache/Z${utmzone}X${x}:Y${y}.jpg") {
    getstore($url, "tilecache/Z${utmzone}X${x}:Y${y}.jpg");
