[OpenLayers-Users] WMSGetFeatureInfo request to geoserver too sensitive

[Alexandre Dubé]

Hi Ismail,

   I think that the 'buffer' vendor-specific parameter from GeoServer is 
what you're looking for.  See:

  * http://docs.geoserver.org/2.5.x/en/user/services/wms/reference.html#getfeatureinfo
  * http://docs.geoserver.org/2.5.x/en/user/services/wms/vendor.html#buffer


HTH,

Alexandre
