Thanks for your response Brad.

My apologies as I was too brief in my original email.  We first experienced the 
issue on version 2.12.0 but we upgraded to 2.17.0 and continued to experience 
the problem.

You are correct, we are trying to use GeoServer as a WMTS client.  We want to 
make a request to Geoserver for a vector layer with a WMTS basemap background.  
The reason we are not using something like Leaflet for this is that we don't 
want an interactive map, but a static image for use in a HTML/PDF report, based 
on a bounding box of the vector layer.

Cheers
Ben

I'm not 100% clear on what you are trying to do, but it looks like you are 
possibly trying WMTS cascading. That is, you are trying to use GeoServer as a 
WMTS client.

If that is the case, you are probably hitting 
https://osgeo-org.atlassian.net/browse/GEOT-5999

That was fixed more than two years ago in 
https://github.com/geotools/geotools/pull/1873

It is probably a good idea to upgrade in any case - 2.12.0 is well out of 
support.

Subject: [Geoserver-users] Automatic Uppercase of WMTS Query Parameters

Hello,

I have encountered an issue relating to the automatic uppercasing of WMTS query 
parameters in WMTS stores.

I am using Geoserver 2.12.0 in docker on Linux.

The problem is that some WMTS services are case sensitive to the query 
parameters, the case in point being MapBox WMTS 
(https://docs.mapbox.com/help/tutorials/mapbox-arcgis-qgis/).

If I go to the following URL with a valid access token I can see a 
GetCapabilities XML page: 
https://api.mapbox.com/styles/v1/mapbox/streets-v11/wmts?access_token=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.
  However, if I go to the same page with an uppercase ACCESS_TOKEN query 
parameter it returns a 401 unauthorised error.

When I enter the valid URL in a Geoserver WMTS store Capabilities URL field and 
save the store I get an error saying:

Server returned HTTP error code 401 for URL 
https://api.mapbox.com/styles/v1/mapbox/streets-v11/wmts?REQUEST=GetCapabilities&ACCESS_TOKEN=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx&VERSION=1.0.0&SERVICE=WMTS

Notice that the URL has a few extra query parameters and the access_token 
parameter is now uppercase.

Is there a reason the existing query parameters in the WMTS GetCapabillities 
URL are converted to uppercase?  Given that it appears that this behaviour is 
disallowing users to create stores from MapBox WMTS URLs, should this be 
classified as a bug?

Cheers,
Ben Kleywegt
