[Geoserver-users] Does Geoserver support the ellipsoidal Equidistant Cylindrical projection?

Hi,

A clean Geoserver installation advertises EPSG:4087 in its OGC WMS
capabilities, which corresponds to an equidistant cylindrical projection
with ellipsoidal calculations.

It seems however that Geoserver treats this reference the same as
EPSG:32662, which is the equidistant cylindrical projection with spherical
calculations.

This can be verified using the Transformation console available in the Demos
section on the Geoserver portal page.

For instance, the point (10, 5) in EPSG:4326 results in the point
(1113194.9079327357 556597.4539663679) when transformed to EPSG:4087 - which
is the same as for EPSG:32662 - while I would expect (1113194.9079327357,
552885.4510584074) for EPSG:4087.

Could this be a bug or am I overlooking something?

Kind regards,
Robin

Hi Robin,
        As you don't seem to have any responses, I'd suggest reporting it as a bug with all the details you have.
Cheers,
Jonathan
