Allow user to request limited capabilities from a WMS
-----------------------------------------------------
Key: GEOS-2169
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-2169
Project: GeoServer
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: WMS
Affects Versions: 1.7.0-RC1
Reporter: Chris Holmes
Assignee: Andrea Aime
Fix For: 1.7.1
Awhile ago we had a discussion about returning a less heavy capabilities
document from GeoSErver's WMS. It's great that we support so many projections,
but it causes grief on a number of clients not built for it. Like javascript
ones and ArcMap which just doesn't seem to be that fast at parsing XML. The
full conversation is at
http://www.nabble.com/Re%3A-heavy-capabilities-p17532793.html
Andrea suggested we do something like:
http://.../ows?SERVICE=WMS&REQUEST=GetCapabilities&srsProfile=limited
(http://www.nabble.com/heavy-capabilities-td17523886.html)
I think this makes a lot of sense. We could even have clients supply a list of
srs's they care about srsProfile=limited,5543,5432 or something. Or even just
srs=4326, as many clients will probably already know what projection they want
it in?
If we have this in place then we can have ArcMap work much better with our
stuff, we just tell those users to supply the extra parameter when they input
the geoserver capabilities document in to their desktop client.
