Tileindex Layer and WMS Get Capabilities.

[dnadeau@…]

When a client perform a Get Capabilities, all "tileindex" layers should not be
displayed.  WMS clients may try to get data from this layer and the request will
fail.

Can we add a STATUS flag to hide some layers from a Get Capability request?


Here is an example where the first layer should not be displayed in a Get
Capability request.

        END
END
