QGISServer wms layers on OL3

[stefan-simon]

Hi,

when a layer url is server_url/qgisserver.fcgi?map=/location_to_qgs/proj.qgs,
in js code, "map=.." is encoded lyke "map%3D..." and this is causing error and
the qgis wms layer is not loaded

thanks,

Stefan

OK. My testing was with Geoserver. I have no experience with QGIS server. What is the error?

[stefan-simon]

Actually is not an error, is an wrong answer from qgis server.
Ex:

var lyr_layer_one = new ol.layer.Tile({
                        source: new ol.source.TileWMS(({
                          url: "http://11.22.33/cgi-bin/qgis_mapserv.fcgi?map%3D/var/home/project.qgs",
                          params: {"LAYERS": "layer%20one", "TILED": "true"},
                        })),
                        title: "layer one"
                      })

we have to change %3D with =
and %20 with ' ' (space character)
If we alter the url to: http://11.22.33/cgi-bin/qgis_mapserv.fcgi?map=/var/home/project.qgs and
layers param to: layer%20one we get the expected result: the layers are displayed in OL map.

Thanks,
Stefan

P.S. you've done a great job with this plugin :) . Thank you

Ah, thanks for figuring this out so quickly. Nice one! So I need to be able to detect when a Web services layer is from QGIS, and unencode those characters. If I search for qgis_mapserv in the layer address, will that do it?

[tomchadwin]

Looks like we'll have to query the server to find out:

Thanks, @elpaso, for the pointer.
