Services

By default MapProxy handles WMS, TMS and KML requests. To change which services should be started you can change your proxy configuration (proxy.yaml). For a WMS and TMS server:

server: ['wms', 'tms']

Web Map Service (OGC WMS)

The WMS server is accessible at /service. The server supports the WMS versions 1.0.0, 1.1.1 and 1.3.0.

SRS

The wms.srs option defines which SRS the WMS service supports. If you need other systems than the default, uncomment the lines in the proxy configuration and add all your EPSG codes:

wms:
  srs: ['EPSG:4326', 'CRS:84', 'EPSG:900913']

See axis order for further configuration that might be needed for WMS 1.3.0.

Tiled Map Services (TMS)

MapProxy supports the Tile Map Service Specification from the OSGeo. The TMS is available at /tms/1.0.0. A request to this URL will return some metadata in XML format.

Here is an example TMS request: /tms/1.0.0/base_EPSG900913/3/1/0.png. png is the internal format of the cached tiles. base is the name of the layer and EPSG900913 is the SRS of the layer. You can only select a SRS that your layer is caching. You can omit the SRS for EPSG900913.

OpenLayers

When you create a map in OpenLayers with an explicit mapExtend, it will request only a single tile for the first (z=0) level. TMS begins with two or four tiles by default, depending on the SRS. MapProxy supports a different TMS mode to support this use-case. MapProxy will start with a single-tile level if you request /tiles instead of /tms.

Keyhole Markup Language (OGC KML)

MapProxy supports KML version 2.2 for integration into Google Earth. Each layer is available as a Super Overlay – image tiles are loaded on demand when the user zooms to a specific region. The initial KML file is available at /kml/layername/0/0/0.kml.

To start the KML server, you have to add it to your proxy.yaml:

server: ['kml']
