The Image Server is a CGI-script that provides pictures in various dimensions.

request with arbitrary bounding box
original picture ratio is maintained
delivering and caching of pictures in dimensions of a certain raster.
picture fits into bounding box (no dimension will be larger, but can be smaller)
picture is just scaled down
allow browser side caching, even for different bounding boxes (using redirection)
support extern storage of scaled pictures to allow mirroring. (redirection map)
