<br>
I'm cross posting this to GeoServer-Users over from QGIS-Dev as the <br>
current QGIS code seems to be trying to work around a GeoServer quirk <br>
based on Nyall's code-comment snippet.<br>
<br>
Is there something different QGIS can do to work around the stated issue <br>
in a better way given I guess requesting a 10x10 Coverage via WCS isn't <br>
going to be doing the host server any favours?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>The behavior described in the comments might be actually happening... sorry, no time to</div><div>look into it right now, we have the JDK11 code sprint incoming and all spare time is going there.</div><div>I checked the ticket tracker, found no bug report about it.</div><div>I would be useful if someone could verify, maybe using a built-in demo dataset.</div><div><br></div><div>Fixing it right now might help, but it will take many years before older versions of GeoServer</div><div>out there are upgraded, we get a surprisingly high number people running 5 years old versions of GeoServer</div><div>asking questions on the list.... just saying, even if one rushes to fix it now, that code in QGIS might</div><div>not be lifted anytime soon (but it could be made configurable I guess?).</div><div><br></div><div>Also, in GeoServer WCS 1.0 normally uses overviews when available, but of course the layer</div><div>might not have them, or be a mosaic of many files.
