Controlling max size of WMS cache on disk

[anyidea]

I haven't found a way to limit the size on disk for the gdal wms cache. Looks like, the cache can only increase. Since the disk capacity is not infinite, this could cause a crash.

The documentation of the WMS driver ​http://www.gdal.org/frmt_wms.html should also give info about wms cache:

• That such a thing exists
• The default location of the cache
• How to change to location of cache (is is possible?)

[Jukka Rahkonen]

Cache is now documented in ​http://www.gdal.org/frmt_wms.html and it is possible to set the "Location where to store cache files. It is safe to use same cache path for different data sources. (optional, defaults to ./gdalwmscache if GDAL_DEFAULT_WMS_CACHE_PATH configuration option is not specified)" but not possible to limit the size of the cache.
