[Community] OWSLib: adding layer MetadataURL support to WebMapService

[Alexandre Saunier]

Hello,

using OWSLib's WebMapService, one may browse the details of a WMS
layer (see [1]).

I notice that the <MetadataURL> element is not supported (see [2])
whereas it is defined as an optional child element of <Layer> in the
WMS GetCapabilities specifications.

The attached patch adds the support of MetadataURL. Would it be useful
to create a ticket and join this patch? If yes, what is the procedure
to do so?

Best regards,
Alexandre

Hi Alexandre,


Thanks a lot for the patch.

The simplest thing was for me to apply the patch as it seemed
straightforward enough so I've done that. However I'm not in a good
position to test it right now so would appreciate if you could confirm
it works ok.

Regards,

Dominic

Thanks Dominic for the quick reply!
It works OK for me after a svn update of OWSLib.
