[MapProxy] HTTP status code for missing tiles

[d***@bkg.bund.de]

Hello list,

we're providing a layer via WMTS which is based on a SQLite cache. The data is generated offline, so the cache in the mapproxy configuration has no source. In higher levels the cache contains only data for our area of interest (Germany + buffer). When I'm requesting the WMTS outside our area of interest, but inside the tile grids extend, I'm getting an Service-Exception like this one:
<ows:ExceptionReport xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.opengis.net/ows/1.1 http://schemas.opengis.net/ows/1.1.0/owsExceptionReport.xsd" version="1.0.0" xml:lang="en">
<ows:Exception exceptionCode="NoApplicableCode">
<ows:ExceptionText>invalid request (/wmts/1.0.0/web/default/GRID/13/17690/26750.png)</ows:ExceptionText>
</ows:Exception>
</ows:ExceptionReport>

The HTTP-status is set to 500, which indicates an internal server error. However I don't see any error messages on the server side. So I'm wondering if this is an expected behavior. Shouldn't be the status code set to 404 - Not Found?

Kind regards,

Dirk

Hi,

WMTS standard does not define 404 as an alternative. I would say that 500 is just right for your case.

Hello Jukka,

thanks for the response. Too bad the WMTS standard is missing it. I see 500 is somehow the right choice.

Kind regards,

Dirk
