Named styles. SLD can be used if the remote server can do dynamic SLD requests, I consider this lower priority, seems kind of a specialized need. >> - allow the admin to specify a timeout (right now it's hard coded) > > Cannot remember if the client code allows for this one. We had considered > switching to commons http client in order to have better control. Yes, it does. By hard coded I mean hard coded on the GeoServer side, we just need to expose a parameter. However by not using http client we're missing quite a bit of extra funcionality that would make GS a well behaved (and more efficient) WMS client (see the notes about HTTP 1.1 persistent connection and connection count limit). >> - full support in Restconfig (we need to add new resources there) >> - improve the GeoTools client code so that we can use >> HTTP 1.1 persistent connections and limit the number >> of parallel connections we make to a single server >> (right now GS is badly behaved from an HTTP client >> point of view). >> - allow the user to choose the format used for cascading. >> Now we try png >> - maybe add a pure proxy mode, if the request contains >> only cascaded layers avoid decoding the image to just >> re-encode it afterwards >> - add support for WMS with access restrictions (this is >> really just a matter of configuration, the gt2 module >> does that already) >> - support cascaded layers in GetMap requests that use >> &SLD and &SLD_BODY > > This is the tough one in that the client code does not currently handle get > map post. Yeah, we'll cross that bridge when someone has a real use case and resources to back it Cheers Andrea -- Andrea Aime OpenGeo - http://opengeo.org Expert service straight from the developers. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Geoserver-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/geoserver-devel
