[Mapbender-users] Load WMS: Problem with special characters

[beyer at multimediaplan.at]

Hi List,

I encountered a problem with the Load WMS option a few days ago. The WMS was
not loaded into my MB, and at least I could figure out that this happened
because layer names are written with some special characters in the incoming
return to the GetCapabilities request. (It's a Czech WMS - they have kind a
lot of special characters there...)

I asked the WMS provider if there were a possibility to put a service online
without special characters, but unfortunately the answer was: "No, we do not
have working time left for replacing these characters."

I also saved the GetCapabilites doc on my system, replaced the special
characters manually, and used the URL of the xml file instead of the real
GetCapabilites URL to load the WMS. It loads into MB then, but cannot be
displayed in the map (obviously because the layers themselvers contain
characters, not only the layer descriptions).

I would appreciate any help to solve this problem.

Regards,
Clemens
