Hi,
I wrote into this thread because Andrea said that he is trying to have a look at the cascading WMS issue during the weekend. I will start a new thread if there will not be RC2 or if cascading will not be fixed directly into 2.6 release. I am pretty sure now that it is broken but it works in 2.5.2 and that Geoserver users who cascade WMS should not update to 2.6.
With Geoserver 2.5.2 Snaphot (02-May-2014 15:26) neither of the issues happen:
-
If I make requests to Geoserver in EPSG:3857 it is also sending GetMaps to the remote WMS in EPSG:3857 and cascading works as supposed. Tested with “World country boundaries” layer which gets a native SRS EPSG:4326.
-
Creating store from demo.mapserver.org succeeds also with WMS 1.3.0. However, the GetCapabilities document is the same and comes with the GetSchemaExtension. Doesn’t it mean “We are GeoServer we sometimes validate ™”?

Jukka maybe you could start a seperate thread for WMS cascade? … we have lost track of either finding a volunteer for RC2 - or deciding nightly builds will be good enough.

Hi,
The Mapserver demo server can be used for testing the problem with WMS-cascading on GS 2.6-Snapshot.
Create a WMS store with URL http://demo.mapserver.org/cgi-bin/wms?SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=Getcapabilities
Create layer from World boundaries. Cascading works OK in EPSG:4326 but when client asks data from Geoserver in EPSG:3857 it is changing the BBOX but keeps SRS as EPSG:4326.

Hi Jody,
It was indeed our Mapserver 6.4.1. It is unfortunately not open for testing but luckily this one answers alike:
http://demo.mapserver.org/cgi-bin/wms?SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.3.0&REQUEST=Getcapabilities
http://demo.mapserver.org/cgi-bin/wms?SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.3.0&REQUEST=GetSchemaExtension
The latter one does not get an answer.
Feels like a bug in Mapserver but is there some special reason to validate the WMS GetCapabilities? As far as I know we do not validate WFS requests very much, or do we?
What can I say - We are GeoServer we always validate ™.
Our XML parsing technologies tend to use the XML Schemas like driving instructions for parsing the content. That is kind of what they are for, but I do not think many projects take that as literally as we do
