Speaking of Internet Explorer compatibility, I am investigating some
problems with the capabilities documents that GeoServer produces for WMS
1.1.1 GetCapabilities requests. It seems that all versions of IE are a bit
stricter than other browsers in enforcing XML schemata - if a document
doesn't validate according to its DTD then IE simply won't let JavaScript
have access to the DOM. We don't change the DTD for
VendorSpecificCapabilties in WMS 1.1.1 so this means that IE-based clients
simply can't use our Capabilties documents.
I see that this issue was actually reported a while ago (
https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-5277) and then closed as not-a-bug by
the reporter with no comment. So is there a reason that we shouldn't
modify the DTD? It would be quite awkward for us to have to change the
capabilities document for IE, so if we can just handle DTD the same way in
WMS 1.1.1 as in 1.3.0 I would much prefer that solution.
