Key: GEOS-1560
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-1560
Project: GeoServer
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Configuration
Reporter: David Winslow
Assignee: David Winslow
Priority: Trivial
This evening I spent about 20 minutes in IRC while helping a user who was waiting on his freshly installed geoserver instance to start up. He finally got in after this snippet of conversation:
[17:53] <SE-Wilco2> Still 0%. Refresh shows 0%. Log shows a 200 status, followed by 404 for gs.gif and gs.ico
[17:56] <dwinslow> do you have javascript disabled in your browser?
[17:56] <SE-Wilco2> Yes, I do. Why do you ask?
It would be really nice to not require Javascript for the geoserver homepage so this sort of thing doesn't happen. It's not really doing anything important on the loading screen, so it shouldn't be hard to rewrite the page to do something nice in the event of scriptless browsers.
