What if format for Getcapabilities document

Question

I want to add capabilities URL for cascading a layer from remote WMS in Geoserver. What will be the exact format for Getcapabilities URL ?

Answer 1

Format:

http://{yourgeoserver}:{port}/geoserver/wms?Service=WMS&Request=GetCapabilities

Working Example:

http://demo.opengeo.org/geoserver/wms?Service=WMS&Request=GetCapabilities

Answer 2

According to the WMS specification, the value part of name=[value]& parameter pairing is case sensitive, so the correct format here is actually:

http://demo.opengeo.org/geoserver/wms?Service=WMS&Request=GetCapabilities&
