Hi all,
We are starting a customer project at Spatineo with a client wishing to improve the current Geoserver cascading WMS support.
At least the following features would need to be implemented:
- Passing extra request parameters to the backend WMS (time, elevation, cql_filter etc.)
- Passing SLD styling parameters to the backend WMS
- Support for requesting specific image formats
- Support for authenticated requests to the backend WMS
Our client has indicated that they would be willing contribute the changed code back to Geoserver community, but the formal decisions are still pending.
I have not yet plunged into the code to plan the approach, and would like ask if you know of any recent or on-going efforts for reaching the same goals? My timeframe for working with these issues would probably May - October this year.
Searching the list for posts, I found the issue GEOS-6911 indicating that the basic auth support for cascading WMS was already implemented in version 2.1.3. Can you confirm this?
Any other ideas or suggestions on what I should take into account for this work at this point?
Regards,
Ilkka Rinne
