[OSGeo-Discuss] OGC compliance of WMS client

Hi Marco,

it should be. There is a requirement within the WMS specification that
defines "REQUEST=GetCapabilities" to be supported by a WMS Server. But
it is not forbidden to have support for "REQUEST=getcapabilities" on
the server side, too. For WMS clients, this means, requests shall use
"REQUEST=GetCapabilities" because this is the only typing defined
within the specification.

Regards

Sebastian
