[Geoserver-users] cascaded arcgis wms, why is the request width so large?

I have set up a cascaded wms directing to

http://arcgis-scheldestromenec2-1568813859.eu-west-1.elb.amazonaws.com/arcgis/services/Basisthemasextern/Waterbeheer/MapServer/WmsServer?

Setup went fine, but when I try to access this cascaded wms from an openlayers app, I notice the following request in the geoserver log.

http://arcgis-scheldestromenec2-1568813859.eu-west-1.elb.amazonaws.com/arcgis/services/Basisthemasextern/Waterbeheer/MapServer/WmsServer?SERVICE=WMS&LAYERS=0&CRS=EPSG:4326&FORMAT=image%2Fpng&HEIGHT=1438&TRANSPARENT=TRUE&REQUEST=GetMap&WIDTH=4484&BBOX=50.741083708244645,1.4890833775366896,52.20234369946047,6.045884196565414&STYLES=&VERSION=1.3.0

Pasting the request in the browser shows the original error:


Parameter 'width' contains unacceptable value.

How can I prevent geoserver from making these large width requests? It is way wider than the request fired by OpenLayers. Is there a way to request the origin as tiled? Or does anybody have any other tips or tricks?

Hmm... not sure. Are you using tiled requests? GWC? Metatiling?
Is there reprojection involved?
