[Geoserver-devel] Wrong URL in getCapabilities response?

GeoServer GeoServer Developer

Dear List,

(Sorry for sending this mistakenly to the geotools-devel list first,
this wasn't intended..)

I notices that with Geoserver 2.0.2 and 2.1-beta1 the WMS
GetCapabilities response contains a strange OnlineResource link, like
the OpenPlans demo server:

     <GetCapabilities>
       <Format>application/vnd.ogc.wms_xml</Format>
       <DCPType>
         <HTTP>
           <Get>
             <OnlineResource
xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink&quot; xlink:type="simple"
xlink:href="http://sigma.openplans.org:80/geoserver/wms?SERVICE=WMS&amp;&quot;/&gt;
           </Get>
           <Post>
             <OnlineResource
xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink&quot; xlink:type="simple"
xlink:href="http://sigma.openplans.org:80/geoserver/wms?SERVICE=WMS&amp;&quot;/&gt;
           </Post>
         </HTTP>
       </DCPType>
     </GetCapabilities>

Doesn't this need to be
"http://sigma.openplans.org:80/geoserver/wms?&quot;? We noticed this as a client
couldn't connect to our services as obviously
"http://host/path?SERVICE=WMS&amp;&quot; returns an error.

Best regards,
Torsten

PS: I looked at OGC 01-068r3 and found an example of an getCap response (p48):

<Capability>
<Request>
<GetCapabilities>
<Format>application/vnd.ogc.wms_xml</Format>
<DCPType>
<HTTP>
<Get>
<!-- The URL here for invoking GetCapabilities using HTTP GET
is only a prefix to which a query string is appended. -->
<OnlineResource xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink&quot;
xlink:type="simple"
xlink:href="http://hostname:port/path" />
</Get>
<Post>
<!-- The URL here for invoking GetCapabilities using HTTP POST
includes the complete address to which a query would be sent in
XML format. This is here for future expansion; no POST encoding
has yet been defined. -->
<OnlineResource xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink&quot;
xlink:type="simple"
xlink:href="http://hostname:port/path" />
</Post>
</HTTP>
</DCPType>
</GetCapabilities>
