Description

When setting up a WFS request, and entering a URL, I entered this (for testing purposes):

http://wppgeog3:8082/geoserver/wfs?version=1.1.0

It turns out the request QGIS is sending to the server is:

http://wppgeog3:8082/geoserver/wfs?version=1.1.0&SERVICE=WFS&REQUEST=GetCapabilities&VERSION=1.0.0

Note that "version" is in there twice.

If I manually set service:
http://wppgeog3:8082/geoserver/wfs?SERVICE=WFS&version=1.3.0

I get a Java error (attached).

I realise I'm not doing it "right", but QGIS should still be able to handle these cases properly, as there's no reason the user can't specify those two parameters (they're always going to be the same after all).

Using NextGIS built from master.

Hm, that would probably mean testing the base urls against a parameter list (also in WMS, WCS). Imagine a user that enters a BBOX parameter in a WMS base url...

#3 Updated by Jonathan Moules about 11 years ago

The options are probably:

1 Cut the URL back to the bit before the ? and accept none of the parameters.
 2 Keep some parameters
 3 Keep all parameters

I'd be inclined to suggest (2) - keep "version" if specified but not the rest. This way the user can specify which version of WMS/WFS/WCS to use if they want.
