[Geoserver-devel] why are basenames 'wfs' etc hardcoded?

Hi,
I think this question belongs more to the dev list than the users list.

When trying to setup a WFS with a different URL than .../wfs (e.g. /ows/railroads) I saw that the "wfs" part of the URL is hard coded in the source: ResponseUtils.appendPath(proxifiedBaseUrl, "wfs"). Is this nessecary? Are there plans to change this using the detected URL as this is already done for the path-substring in the URL?

Thank you!
Martin

Hi,
afaik there's no plan to do so so far.
Why is it a problem though? it's machine to machine communication so it
shouldn't matter at all.
path-substring detection (aka, proxifiedUrl) is there to get the actual root context. From there on it's up to the server to define the service end points. If there's a strong use case to change that we could see, but I don't quite get the point?

Cheers,
Gabriel
