[Qgis-user] QGIS Server - GetLegendGraphics request confusion

[Jakob Miksch]

Hi everyone!

I have a QGIS Server running. Requesting the legend of a layer works fine as explained in the docs: 3.2. Web Map Service (WMS) - QGIS Documentation documentation<https://docs.qgis.org/3.28/en/docs/server_manual/services/wms.html#getlegendgraphics>
However, I noticed that in QGIS Server the request must be called "GetLegendGraphics" with a trailing "s", whereas GeoServer (GetLegendGraphic - GeoServer 2.25.x User Manual<https://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/services/wms/get_legend_graphic/index.html>), MapServer (WMS Server - MapServer 8.0.1 documentation<https://mapserver.org/de/ogc/wms_server.html#getlegendgraphic-request>), deegree and OpenLayers (OpenLayers v8.1.0 API - Class: ImageWMS<https://openlayers.org/en/latest/apidoc/module-ol_source_ImageWMS-ImageWMS.html#getLegendUrl>) expect the request to be called "GetLegendGraphic" WITHOUT the trailing "s".

Is there a reason why QGIS Server provides legends differently compared to other established geospatial software?

Best regards,
Jakob
