[OpenLayers-Users] What is the easiest way to grab the URL string being sent to a WMS server?

[Jon Blower]

Hi,

Yet another suggestion (which might not be quite what you want) is to
use the getURL(bounds) method:

var my_wms = new OpenLayers.Layer.WMS(...);
...
alert(my_wms.getURL(new OpenLayers.Bounds(...)));

This will use the BBOX specified by the Bounds object that you pass in
but will preserve all the other parameters of the URL.

HTH,
Jon
