[OpenLayers-Dev] wms layer on sphericalmercator

[Jachym Cepicky]

hi,

previously, it was possible, to overlay e.g. WMS layer on top of
SphericalMercator layer (google), as demostranted in example [1].
According to documentation [2], using reproject:true is deprecated now.

According to available documentation [3][4], it is no longer possible
to overlay e.g. WMS Layer in epsg:4326 on top of google maps layer.
You have two possibilities now:

1) setup your wms server, so it supports epsg:900913 on the output
2) create proxy wms, which will accept epsg:4326 on the input and
covert the images to epsg:900913 on the output

Do I miss some point? Could the deprecated "reproject" attribute go
back to OpenLayers, so you could overlay epsg:4326 on top of
epsgf:900913?

Thanks,

Jachym
