[OpenLayers-Dev] getFullRequestString: altURL deprecated in 3.0

[Bart van den Eijnden (OSGIS)]

I am using it to switch between WMS and WFS services. Potentially a WFS
service can run on a different URL than the WMS, and a WMS should report
this in its WMS DescribeLayer response. I use the url from that reponse to
build the WFS GetFeature url, it does work for me since the new url is based
on the passed in altURL.

    /**
     * Method: parseDescribeLayer
    */
    parseDescribeLayer: function(response) {
       var desc = new OpenLayers.Format.WMSDescribeLayer();
       var describeLayerResponse = desc.read(response.responseText);
       if (describeLayerResponse.length > 0) {
           var url =  this.map.activeLayer.getFullRequestString({
                            SERVICE: describeLayerResponse[0].owsType,
                            REQUEST: "GetFeature",
                            VERSION: "1.0.0",
                            BBOX: this.bounds.toBBOX(),
                            TYPENAME: describeLayerResponse[0].typeName
                          }, describeLayerResponse[0].owsURL);
           OpenLayers.loadURL(url, '', this, this.parseGML);
       } else {
           Ext.MessageBox.hide();
       }
    }

Best regards,
Bart
