Hello, I was not sure about how to log a GeoServer issue to JIRA so posting here alternatively.
I was writing a javascript code which does the following 1. Make a GetCapabilities request against http://localhost:8080/geoserver/wfs?request=GetCapabilities (GeoServer version is 2.5.1) 2. Parse the response text using $.parseXML(text) in jQuery 1.11.0 The code worked in every browser except Internet Explorer 8. Ultimately I found that the following attribute of <wfs:WFS_Capabilities /> node was preventing the XML to be parsed in IE8. xmlns:xml=”http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace” By removing this attribute beforehand, $.parseXML was successful in IE8. I wonder why this xmlns:xml thing exists in WFS GetCapabilities responses. It does not appear in the response XMLs for DescribeFeatureType and WMS GetCapabilities, only in this.
