[Geoserver-devel] [jira] Created: (GEOS-3312) Default configuration for new GeoTIFF data sources makes WMS Capabilties document invalid

Default configuration for new GeoTIFF data sources makes WMS Capabilties document invalid
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: GEOS-3312
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-3312
             Project: GeoServer
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 2.0.x
            Reporter: David Winslow
            Assignee: Andrea Aime

When adding a new GeoTIFF layer, it is created with a MetadataURL pointing at http://www.remotesensing.org:16080/websites/geotiff/geotiff.html (which doesn't resolve in my browser btw.) This metadata url is created with no Type field set, and is represented in the WMS capabilities document as:
{code type=xml}
        <MetadataURL type="other">
          <Format/>
          <OnlineResource xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink&quot; xlink:type="simple" xlink:href="http://www.remotesensing.org:16080/websites/geotiff/geotiff.html&quot;/&gt;
        </MetadataURL>
{code}

"other" is not one of the predesignated types (TC211 | FGDC) in the DTD, causing errors in strict parsers (such as Internet Explorer).

For better OpenLayers/IE support, it would be useful to either drop this metadata url, or reference a modified DTD that describes our output more precisely.
