Tirex:...nd::WMS(3pm)

💖 NAME 💖

Tirex::Backend::WMS — it's the WMS backend for Tirex, bestie. That's the whole vibe. 🎀

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so picture this: it's giving "renderer," but make it simple. This backend doesn't render anything itself — it literally just goes and gets the map image from a WMS server. Hand it a WMS server, it comes back with your tiles. Iconic, low effort, high reward. ✨

The WMS server has to support the right SRS though, no cap — either EPSG:3857 or the informal EPSG:900913. If it doesn't, that's a no from me. 🫶

Also, heads up: only WMS 1.1.1 is supported right now. Just 1.1.1. That's the moment. Not 1.3.0, not whatever else you're about to ask about. 💅

ngl, if you were hoping for a newer WMS version, this is your sign to be patient, bestie. 1.1.1 only.

🦋 Config parameters for the map file 🦋

These are the things you can set in your map file, so listen up because they all matter:

• url — the url prefix
• layers — a list of comma-separated layers
• srs — spatial reference system, like 'EPSG:3857' etc.
• transparent — either TRUE or FALSE
