Hi!
Is there a way to restrict output formats in WMS mode ? For example, I want to block jpeg and png output and allow, let’s say, png8 and svg.
Thank you very much!

I don't know if this is possible, but why would you want to do this?
As a server owner I want as many clients as possible to connect to my
maps, otherwise why use an open standard at all?

Hi All,
I posted a similar question a while back. The reason for us, Ian,
is that we are very heavily limited from a network traffic standpoint at one
of our remote facilities. We require the ability to constrain requests to,
e.g. png8 so that maps will be pulled up in thick clients in seconds, not
minutes. ArcGIS is our thick client that was limiting us, which we couldn't
figure out how to force a png8 request without having the server appear to
only offer that as an option.
When I posted the question, the best suggestion I got was to save
the WMS capabilites document, modify it, and post it on a static server. If
you still wanted it to be dynamic, you could combine a cron job with cURL
and some awk or perl to periodically update the static capabilities document
for you. If I weren't running a Windows server, I would have already done
this for us in house... .

Hi All.
Is there any way to control the default image type for a given
service? We've got some remote users with a slow network using a thick
client to access our GeoServer WMS. I'd like to force it to serve PNG8
to reduce the network traffic, and I don't see anything on the client
side that allows me to do that (thick in two ways, I suppose). I'm
hoping I can limit the capabilities for the service of images, in the
same way that I can reduce the number of coordinate systems served.Any ideas?
We have no switch to control the default wms output format... Actually
there is no such a thing as a "default format", format=xxx is required
by WMS. But I guess the client would end up requesting only png8 if that
was the only format provided to it?
A quick way to test it is to save the wms capabilities output, hand edit
it, and publish it again using some static file publishing tool (e.g.,
you can put it into the www directory of your GeoServer data dir and reach
it at .../geoserver/www/myAmendedCapsFile.xml)
Cheers
Andrea

Exactly, same with us.
Static page… I don’t like it, because some clients will try it anyway (custom code).
I can see that I have only two options left: modify source code or create a proxy that will validate the format before forwarding the request to the geoserver.
I think it would be a nice feature to be able to activate/deactivate some output formats. PNG8 is much smaller than PNG and is nicer than JPG.
Thanks guys!

Hi
Would you guys want to use something similar to mod_rewrite, but for
Tomcat, for changing the output format from an incoming GetMap request
to png8?

Hello,
I would like to restrict output file formats (WMS) to only :
- JPEG
- GIF
- PNG
- PNG8
Anyone has an example how to use urlrewrite with GeoServer ?
Thanks for any help.
