Doesn't work by default

[fred.wen@…]

I installed GeoSever? 1.7.0RC3. It works fine. I noticed it has the GeoWebCache jar files included. But just in case, I overwrote the files with geoserver-1.7.0-RC3-gwc-plugin.zip. I tried to run a few examples in tiled version and none works. For example for topp:states layer, I use the tiled version:
http://localhost:8080/geoserver/gwc/service/wms?bbox=-127.61950064999999,23.7351786,-64.08177035,50.592523400000005&styles=&Format=application/openlayers&request=GetMap&version=1.1.1&layers=topp:states&width=800&height=317&srs=EPSG:4326
The page hung while Tomcat took a lot of CPU.

For sf:roads the tomcat log indicates error:
23 Sep 09:18:20 ERROR [geowebcache.GeoWebCacheDispatcher?] - Unable to match requested SRS EPSG:26713 to those supported by layer http://localhost:8080/geoserver/gwc/service/wms

The url in readme http://localhost:8080/geoserver/gwc/service/ve?layers=topp:states&quadkey=02 gives returns http status 400: The request sent by the client was syntactically incorrect ().

What's going wrong?

Srry about the slow response.

Your request is invalid for many reasons (not tiled, arbitrary windows size, output format openlayers...). Please use http://localhost:8080/geoserver/gwc/demo

However, it certainly shouldn't cause GS / GWC to consume all available CPU. I suspect it's the code that tries to find the best matching tile, will investigate asap.

Thanks for reporting.

Fixed in revision 402, throws exceptions more generously for invalid resolutions and mimetypes.

I found one cause it doesn't work by default is following typo in file main/java/org/geowebcache/demo/Demo.java prevented IE from rendering the page correctly:
<title>...</tile>

the page works in FireFox?, however.
The type still exists in trunk.

Thank you :) I've fixed the typo, and I am very surprised it has such disastrous consequences in IE. Uploading beta 2 now, where this should be fixed.

Please open new tickets for new bugs.
