&strict used for non-XML stuff

Issue Type:

BugBug

Affects Versions:

2.3.0

Assignee:

Andrea Aime

Created:

Description:

This may be a documentation thing, or a bug thing.

This page - http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/services/wfs/vendor.html?highlight=strict - says that the &STRICT parameter is for dealing with invalid XML.

However it also allows invalid URL’s to be parsed too. If this is desired the documentation should be updated. If its not desired then &strict shouldn’t bypass if the request isn’t XML.

(Example - The SLD 1.0 spec says that the “&LAYER” parameter is a “Required” part of the GetLegendRequest (page 62). But removing it works if &strict=false.
i.e.:
http://wppgeog3:8082/geoserver/wms?REQUEST=GetLegendGraphic&VERSION=1.0.0&FORMAT=image/png&WIDTH=20&HEIGHT=20&style=point&strict=false
)
