Parsing of some GetCapabilities fails on IE9

[oterral]

In Import WMS component parsing of some WMS GetCapabilities failed:

ol3 problems?

[gjn]

Could be. We had similar things in the past.

See my comment (#3) here: https://redmine.bgdi.admin.ch/issues/5033

@oterral What is the status of this problem ?

[oterral]

I'm setting OL3 in a virtual windows to debug this issue

[oterral]

Doesn't seem an OL problem, more probably an encoding file problem.

The error occurs when IE try to parse a file with goog.dom.loadXml :

´(new DOMParser).parseFromString(xml, "application/xml")

[oterral]

I confirm. IE9 failed parsing file in GetCapabilities defined as ISO-8859-1

Please check in current map.geo.admin.ch. If it doesn't work, we can close it

[oterral]

It works on map.geo.admin.ch, so I continue to dig

[oterral]

Ok in RE2 it works because the old ogcproxy manage content encoding.

 if content.find('encoding=') > 0:
     m = re.search("encoding=\"(.*?)\\\"",content)
     try:
         data = content.decode(m.group(1))
     except Exception:
             abort(406)
     return data.encode('utf-8')
 else:
     return content

@oterral, do you have a URL to a WMS capabilities document IE 9 fails to parse?
