WMS GetCapabilities Length Limitation

#1

MapSuite Team,

I am working with a public WMS Server that has a very large GetCapabilities result string.

It is so large that the result string is truncated when the following is invoked:
string TheServerCapabilitiesXml = (TiledWmsLayer) TheTiledWmsLayer.GetServerCapabilitiesXml();

When I request GetCapabilities directly from a WebBrowser the entire result is displayed.

I know that the length is greater than 148,000 bytes.

Does MapSuite have a limit as to the number of bytes returned from GetCapabilities?

Thanks,
Dennis

Hi Dennis,

This API only return the cached capability XML file, I think the problem shouldn’t been in this API.

You can visit this path: %temp%\MapSuite\TiledWmsRasterLayer to get your cached capability file and watch whether it’s also be truncated.

And we hadn’t found a test WMS capabitlity to reproduce it, if possible please sent us the test sample about it.

Regards,

Ethan

hi Ethan,

As you suggested I found the file containing the cached capability and found it to contain the entire expected capabilities.

It would appear that the GetServerCapabilitiesXml() method is not returning everything that is cached. I even converted from a plain String to StringBuilder and have same issue. The maximum length that the method returns is 147,445 bytes.

What are your thoughts?

Thanks,
Dennis

Ethan,

Good news! I updated with the latest beta for TiledWms and now I receive the entire 150,064 bytes of the Capabilities.

Thanks,
