With spaces in attribute names no WFS GetCapabilities on the GeoServer V2.5.1 are shipped.

Please incorrect input intercept.

Is this a QGIS desktop attribute table, QGIS desktop field calculator, a QGIS server or a geoserver problem?

Please specify exactly what you are doing, what's going wrong and what would be the expected result.

#4 Updated by Jirko Mattat over 10 years ago

It happens when QGIS desktop attribute table, the create a new vector layer.
In my opinion, it is useful to intercept this because Geoserver 2.4.x/2.5.1 delivers no more WFS with spaces in the name. WMS but coming.

Procedure:
- I create a new vector layer from a shape record.
- Open the attribute table and click Edit
- And add a column
- To place here the name of a text with spaces it comes to the problem of top

at a WFS GetFeature query the error message that the GetCapabilities not well-formed (that is the error message from Geoserver)

it is just a geoserver thing (not accepeting spaces in column names) or is a general issue/rule with all map servers?

It is not a Geoserver only "issue". Spaces are not allowed in MapServer either for layer names :

I think it is defined as this in the standard

I'm not sure I follow how this is a bug for us. If they don't allow spaces don't create a field with spaces. There is no need for us to force that

For me it would have been great had intercepted the QGIS since a lot of time on it to recite a follow-up to find the error. Here now establish a direct connection between column label and faulty response of a WFS request is not so simple.
The trap could be an improvement of the usability and spare the next a lot of time, which was based on the idea.
