[OpenLayers-Users] getCapabilities

Tue Jun 11 07:35:23 PDT 2013

Your url is not a GetCapabilities request, use e.g.:

http://geodaten.bayern.de/ogc/ogc_dop200_oa.cgi?service=WMS&request=GetCapabilities&version=1.1.1

Also, you don't need the Format.XML in between, the code will handle that for you, and use OpenLayers.Format.WMSCapabilities, the format will see what the version is of the GetCapabilities output.

Best regards,
Bart
