Chapter 2
Understanding Requests
Overview of Requests and Responses
This chapter describes how to construct the following HTTP requests in an
Autodesk MapGuide LiteView application and how to work with the
responses:
■
map request
—Returns the map image to the application
■
feature_info request
—Returns information about a map feature, located
at a specified point, to the application
The format of the responses to the map and feature_info requests are:
■
Response to a map request
—A PNG or JPEG image
■
Response to a feature_info request
—An XML document that describes
the selected feature
OpenGIS WMS 1.1.1 Compliance
Autodesk MapGuide LiteView’s map-request and map-interface features
comply with the OpenGIS Web Map Service (WMS) 1.1.1 implementation
specification, available at http://www.opengis.org/techno/specs/01-
068r3.pdf. As an active and Principal Member of the Open GIS Consortium
(OGC) Autodesk works with OGC staff and members to create industry-stan-
dard mapping specifications for the Web. The OGC Web site is at
www.opengis.org.
This chapter describes how to make requests that comply with the
draft
WMS
specification (that is, map and feature_info requests). To make requests that
comply with WMS 1.1.1 by using GetCapabilities, GetMap, and GetFeature-
Info operations, see Chapter 3, “Making GetCapabilities, GetMap, and
GetFeatureInfo Requests,” on page 35.
Non-WMS 1.1.1-Compliant Parameters
In addition to the map-request parameters defined by WMS 1.1.1, Autodesk
MapGuide LiteView also supports the Autodesk-specific parameters HLS,
SYMBOLS, SELECT, and PPIY.
Creating a map Request
You use a
map
request in the HTTP get or post request of your application; see
“Using Get and Post Requests,” on page 68. The map request parameters
