Hi,
my latest change related to http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-4855
(Browsers won't show png8 files generated by GeoServer)
broke the cite WMS 1.3 tests:
Testing getcapabilities:each-format
(wms-1.3.0/d39e16856_1/d39e2072_1/d39e2109_1)...
Assertion: For format "text/xml", when the FORMAT
parameter is set to that format, the MIME type of the response matches
that format.
It seems we can't have, at the same time, both the jira and the CITE
tests satisfied: if we return image/png as the mime type when asked
for
image/png8 we break the cite wms 1.3 expectation, if we return
image/png8 cite passes but the browsers will make the user download
the
file instead of showing it as an image, since the image/png8 mime is
not recognized.
Wondering how to handle this one?
The one solution I've found is to still support image/png8 in the
requests, but stop advertising it in the
capabilites, and advertise and use a "image/png; mode=8bit" mime type
instead, this one is properly
understood by browsers too (at least Chrome and Firefox)
Opinions?
Cheers
Andrea
