Good Morning Group,
I'm still very much a rookie with GeoServer and I've been trying to follow the steps to cascade WMTS requests to the UK Met Office Datapoint service. The service description is here: https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/datapoint/support/documentation/inspire-layers- detailed-documentation I have hit a snag but I think that I know what the problem is. What I don't know is what I can do about it. If I put the GetCapabilities request into a browser (with the correct API key, of course), I get a valid XML response. The form of the request is like this: http://datapoint.metoffice.gov.uk/public/data/inspire/view/wmts?REQUEST=getc apabilities&key=<API key> When I paste that URL into Geoserver I get a "forbidden" error. Looking in the linux command window where I launched the GeoServer, I see the error and the URL that was sent to DataPoint. It is not the same as the one that I pasted into the configuration page and the "key" parameter has been capitalised - like this: http://datapoint.metoffice.gov.uk/public/data/inspire/view/wmts?REQUEST=getc apabilities&KEY=<API key> If I then copy that URL from the command window and paste it into the browser, it fails with the same "forbidden" error. Changing "KEY" to "key" cures the problem in the browser. So it looks like GeoServer is parsing the entered URL, reforming it and sending it out to the remote server - except that it has capitalised a parameter name, which breaks it. Can anyone offer any suggestions? Is this a candidate for a bug report? Many Thanks David
