WCS 1.1 capabilities request should ignore the "version" parameter
------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: GEOS-4229
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-4229
Project: GeoServer
Issue Type: Bug
Components: WCS
Affects Versions: 2.1-beta1
Reporter: Andrea Aime
Assignee: Andrea Aime
Fix For: 2.1-beta2
The following request:
http://localhost:8080/geoserver/ows?service=wcs&request=GetCapabilities&version=9.9.9
today returns a service exception stating the version is not supported. However that response is wrong no matter from which angle one looks at it:
- if we use the WCS 1.0 negotiation rules, for which version=xyz parameter has a meaning, the rule says "If a version unknown to the server is requested, the server must send the highest version it knows that is less than the requested version.". So the WCS 1.1 capabilities should be returned
- if we use the WCS 1.1 negotation rules, the version parameter is not part of the spec, so it should simply be ignored, and again the WCS 1.1 capabilities should be returned
The problem is due to the 1.1 caps kvp reader assimilating "version" to "acceptVersions", an assumption which is not warranted.
The attached patch solves the problem. Tried out the WCS 1.1 CITE tests with this patch, they pass
