[HOT] Padang image problems

[Harry Wood]

I've made a fudgetastic proxy script.  This URL works for Pedang mapping in Potlatch (and similar for old JOSM versions)

http://harrywood.dev.openstreetmap.org/flipworld/pedang.php?base=http://aerial.openstreetmap.or.id/padang2/&tile=$z/$x/$y.png


It's not pretty.  It's not efficient.  But it works

Ah that's why it hasn't been working for me lately.  Gah! stupid TMS coordinates!  Well I can update the task description to say it doesn't work in Potlatch or older versions of JOSM if that's the best thing to do but...  seems kinda lame.

Isn't it a simple fix to re-number all the tiles to flip the world the other way up? 

So we could either...

* Do this on the current server by generating the tiles differently the first place
* Do this on the current server by running some little 'flip the world' script to rename the files
* wget the files onto another server and play around with such little scripts there.
* Make a 'flip the world' proxying script
