[Geoserver-users] Parameter Pass-Thru on KML_reflect

something I'm not completely clear on -- for the whole kml_reflect thing, are
you supposed to be able to change the default parameters by tacking on more
GET params, eg:

http://localhost:8080/geoserver/wms/kml_reflect?layers=topp:states&KMScore=100&KMAttr=false

because when i add them onto the request, the WMS request inside the kml
file returned still has

KMScore=30&KMAttr=true

thanks,
mike

No, parameters get cut off and default parameters are set.
The only ones that are changeable are the bounding box, and layers, and I think styles.

All the reflector does is return a regular WMS getMap request, with KML output, so you can just use that once, get the proper URL, and use that from then on with your specific parameters.
Its intent is just a quick and dirty way of getting data, with default parameters, into Google Earth.

Really? You can't over-ride those scores? I had assumed you can, and think that would be quite useful. Brent, could you file a jira for this?
