Hi Ben, This has come up a few times in the past and the general idea is that using a canonical url would require wfs clients to have an internet connection in order to parse a wfs response. Which was decided would be too restricting.
What probably should do is add some sort of flag to allow server admins to control this. -Justin Ben Caradoc-Davies wrote: > Is there any reason why WFS responses include a WFS schemaLocation URL > that points back to the server, and not the canonical location? > > At the moment a WFS 1.1.0 response includes this: > xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.opengis.net/wfs > http://localhost:80/geoserver/schemas/wfs/1.1.0/wfs.xsd [...]" > > I would prefer the canonical location: > xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.opengis.net/wfs > http://schemas.opengis.net/wfs/1.1.0/wfs.xsd [...]" > > The canonical location is more likely to be cached by a validating > client, and can be easily recognised as a WFS 1.1 response without > having to fetch and parse the server's copy, which may or may not be the > same. > > Kind regards, > -- Justin Deoliveira OpenGeo - http://opengeo.org Enterprise support for open source geospatial. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Return on Information: Google Enterprise Search pays you back Get the facts. http://p.sf.net/sfu/google-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Geoserver-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/geoserver-devel
