[Geoserver-users] wmsgetfeature fails when published to external web server

GeoServer GeoServer User

Hi

I have an openlayers site pulling data from geoserver – all was fine until I published it externally

The maps display fine but the wmsgetfeatureinfo requests are failing in Internet explorer with access denied – it works in firefox and chrome albeit with warning about geoserver requests being http and the server being https

You can see the site live here – https://summert.knowsley.gov.uk

I think it may be a cors related issue but am not certain.

One of our network people suggested enabling geoserver to use https but I am not sure how to enable ssl

So 2 things I would like advice on – is ssl causing the failure >?

And if so how is it turned on in geoserver?

I have not been able to recreate the problem. Is it when you turn the layers on? Is it with a particular version if IE?

Nice looking map.

Mark,

the app, just for showing the first map, is producing over 500 requests, almost all WMS tiles.

I understand this is not related to the GetFeatureinfo issue but is a bit hard for your users having to wait for all that layers while not needed for current visualization.

By the way I didn’t find a tool for the info

Click anywhere in the map and a popup will appear with the result of the wms request in it

With regards all the requests – I am not sure why it grabs so much data at once - I guess I need to optimise it more

You probably have a cross origin request issue - the assumption is that your javascript and geoserver are using the same port/host otherwise you will need a proxy.

lick anywhere in the map and a popup will appear with the result of the
wms request in it

From Firefox it dose not work.

After clicking the cursor I get this JS error:

(mixed active content) “

Maybe because you are mixing http and https?

Going directly to the link below returns a fairly large JSON result.

I also see that the original page location is at https://summert.knowsley.gov.uk

The geoserver call is setup as

InfoForPopup = new OpenLayers.Control.WMSGetFeatureInfo({

url: ‘http://geotest.knowsley.gov.uk:8080/geoserver/Geostore/wms’,

Since this is not the same as the base page, you have 2 issues going on.

  1. Mixed content for ssl/non-ssl

a. This is annoying mostly, but since the main page is ssl enabled, It shouldn’t block the non-ssl calls. Only complain to the user about it

b. This can be fixed by applying a certificate to the geotest.knowsley.gov.uk server and changing the InfoForPopup url to https and your secure port, presumable 443

  1. Cross Broswer Javascript

a. This is the one that is blocking your access

b. This can be solved by adding a proxy server to the summert.knowsley.gov.uk server to handle the non-image requests.
