The goal is to continue using tileserver-gl while the tile source is no more a mbtiles but a remote source described by a remote tilejson.
I done this in pursuing my goal to have a on demand tiles from OpenMapTiles. The remote tiles and tilesjson are here typically from postvers.
This PR add a remote tilejson to the data configuration:
It a proxy over the remote tilejson and add the ability to override some part.
This is a working prof of concept. I am not js developer, but I can improve this PR to make margeable if you wish to integrate this new concept.
