[Mapbender-users] Mapbender3 - Symfony URL validator does not accept URLs without a dot (.)

[Astrid Emde]

Hello,

the Symfony URL validator does not accept URLs without a dot (.) like
localhost or a986123demo:8399 in Symfony version 2.1 which is used in
Mapbender3 at the moment.

This is a upstream Symfony bug which is solved in version 2.3. We use
Symfony 2.1 at the moment.

With the next Mapbender3 version in August 2014 we will move to Symfony
2.3. So the problem should be fixed in mapbender3 too.

Here is the Mapbender3 ticket about this issue
https://github.com/mapbender/mapbender/issues/16

WORKAROUND to load a WMS from localhost
* use 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost

WORKAROUND to load a WMS from an addres without dot (.)
* open the getCapabilities-Url in the browser and save the document as a
file in a directory which can be refered from the browser
* refer to the file-URL to load the WMS
