[OpenLayers-Dev] WMS GetCapabilities Requst

[Bart van den Eijnden (OSGIS)]

Try something like:

var url = layer.getFullRequestString({REQUEST: "GetCapabilities"});
OpenLayers.loadURL(url, '', null, function(response) {
alert(response.responseText); });

Replace the alert with something to parse the XML, like somebody suggested
before use Format.XML.

Best regards,
Bart

:&gt; Hi All&gt;&nbsp; &gt;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; I am using OpenLayers
with GeoServer. I am using OpenLayers &gt; JavaScript APIs to render the WMS
layers present in GeoServer. Of the &gt; layers I have one base layer and
multiple overlays. Now I need to &gt; specify
>  the bounding box values for the base map coverage layer in the &gt;
OpenLayers.WMS function (maxExtent : bounds ) For thst I need to get &gt;
the values from the GeoServer. After consulting the GeoServer guys I &gt;
came to know that I have to do a WMS GetCapabilities request and parse &gt;
the returned XML to get the BBox for my layer. What I want to know is &gt;
how to make a WMS GetCapabilities request using OpenLayers and parse &gt;
the returned XML. Any example would be highly useful. Or let me know &gt; if
there is any other way of solving this...&gt;&nbsp; &gt; Thanks in
advance&gt; ganesh&gt;&nbsp; &gt;&gt;
