Hello,
I've been trying out GeoServer 2.1 and have run into what looks like a
coordinate system mix up. According to the OpenGIS WMS specification for
1.3.0, the BBOX for EPSG:4326 should be lat then lon, but it seems Geoserver is
doing it backwards. Here is an excerpt:
EXAMPLE 1 A <BoundingBox> metadata element for a Layer representing the entire
Earth in the CRS:84 Layer CRS
would be written as
<BoundingBox CRS="CRS:84" minx="-180" miny="-90" maxx="180" maxy="90">.
A BBOX parameter requesting a map of the entire Earth would be written in this
CRS as
BBOX=-180,-90,180,90.
EXAMPLE 2 A <BoundingBox> representing the entire Earth in the EPSG:4326 Layer
CRS would be written as
<BoundingBox CRS="EPSG:4326" minx="-90" miny="-180" maxx="90" maxy="180">.
A BBOX parameter requesting a map of the entire Earth would be written in this
CRS as
BBOX=-90,-180,90,180.
Here is an example request that I'm doing,
http://localhost:8080/geoserver/ows?SERVICE=WMS&?VERSION=1.3.0&service=WMS&REQUEST=GetMap&CRS=EPSG:4326&LAYERS=cite:pyramid2&WIDTH=714&HEIGHT=714&FORMAT=image/png&STYLES=&TRANSPARENT=TRUE&BBOX=-90,-180,90,180
The image here shows up sideways. It works when I do this request below,
however.
http://localhost:8080/geoserver/ows?SERVICE=WMS&?VERSION=1.3.0&REQUEST=GetMap&CRS=EPSG:4326&LAYERS=cite:pyramid2&WIDTH=714&HEIGHT=714&FORMAT=image/png&STYLES=&TRANSPARENT=TRUE&BBOX=-180,-90,180,90
Am I doing something wrong, is this a bug, or intended behavior?
Thanks,
Eric Kangas
