Description
As a metasearch user
I want to access entries in catalogues that include a full GetCapabilities URL
So that these types of URLS don't fail and I can view a WMS or other OGC service within QGIS
- Given this internal catalogue: http://INTRANET/geonetwork/srv/csw
- And a keyword search of "WMS"
- Resulting in a record entry with: http://INTRANET/arcgis/services/D01/0cb80e79-11df-4772-b7bd-f0ed2902cdb5/MapServer/WMSServer?request=GetCapabilities&service=WMS
#Reults in the following error:--------------------------- WMS Provider --------------------------- The server you are trying to connect to does not seem to be a WMS server. Please check the URL. --------------------------- OK Hide Details... ---------------------------
- when you enter URL with double params (created by Metasearch) you also get the error
Likely issue is in metasearch sending OWSLib an invild URL because the catalogue maintains the full GetCap string. Not sure if best to fix in Metasearch or OWSLIB.
Due to various business rules the actual GetCap request is managed in the catalogue.
