[Geoserver-devel] [jira] (GEOS-6198) GeoServer not returning exception for invalid WMTS GetCapabilities request

Jonathan Moules created BugGEOS-6198
GeoServer not returning exception for invalid WMTS GetCapabilities request

Issue Type:

BugBug

Affects Versions:

2.4.1

Description:

QGIS has a bug (http://hub.qgis.org/issues/9132) where it sends the following as its getCapabilities:
http://wppgeog3/geoserver/gwc/service/wmts?SERVICE=WMS&REQUEST=GetCapabilities

It is requesting the SERVICE as a WMS not WMTS; GeoServer honours this. Problem is, the spec says of “service”:
“Character String type, not empty SHALL be “WMTS””
So it should be returning a InvalidParameterValue exception.
