This change was done by Andreas Schmitz because of my suggestion. Discussion was held on this mailing list a few days ago. The purpose of this change was to make it possible to connect at all to such WMS servers which are using a different URL for GetMap requests than for GetCapabilities. Without this change OpenJUMP WMS blindly sent all GetMap requests to the same address than used for the first connection for GetCapabilities. In theory it would be correct to always use that GetMap URL that is returned with the GetCapabilities document. In real life just few WMS servers are really using separate GetMap URL, even they may advertise so. Usually it does not harm anybody, because many, if not most clients behave just like OpenJUMP and never read the GetMap URL or try to use it. This solution was made to allow - directing GetMap requests to GetMap URL if it really works - directing GetMap requests to GetCapabilities URL if it works but GetMap URL is wrong I had a certain WMS service in my mind when asking about this feature. Unfortunately that site has another speciality in configuration that prevents me to use it even the GetMap URL is now read from the GetCapabilities document. -Jukka Rahkonen- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
