DescribeSensor: InvalidParameterValue for outputFormat

[ninsbl]

DescribeSensor request yields in exception:

http://istsos.org/istsos/demo?request=DescribeSensor&procedure=GARBOW&service=SOS&version=1.0.0&outputFormat=text/xml;subtype=%22sensorML/1.0.1%22

<Exception locator="outputFormat" exceptionCode="InvalidParameterValue">
<ExceptionText>
Supported "outputFormat" values are: text/xml;subtype="sensorML/1.0.1"
</ExceptionText>
</Exception>
</ExceptionReport>

This POST request however seems to work:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <sos:describeSensor
       xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

       outputFormat='text/xml;subtype="sensorML/1.0.1"'>

          <procedure>T_LUGANO</procedure>
    </sos:describeSensor>

Not sure about the standards requirements here (didn't check), but URL-encoding the value of outputFormat does not help either (I'm pretty sure the latter one is how it is supposed to be):

http://istsos.org/istsos/demo?request=DescribeSensor&procedure=GARBOW&service=SOS&version=1.0.0&outputFormat=text/xml;subtype%3D%22sensorML/1.0.1%22

http://istsos.org/istsos/demo?request=DescribeSensor&procedure=GARBOW&service=SOS&version=1.0.0&outputFormat=text/xml;subtype%3D"sensorML/1.0.1"

I agree, but I think to remember we had to modify to pass cite test.. Need to check though... Il 06 set 2017 10:39 AM, "Daniel Nüst" <[email protected]> ha scritto:

Hi the correct request is this one:

http://istsos.org/istsos/demo?request=DescribeSensor&procedure=GRABOW&service=SOS&version=1.0.0&outputFormat=text%2Fxml%3Bsubtype%3D%22sensorML%2F1.0.1%22

It doesn't worked because of the procedure name: GARBOW instead of GRABOW

[ninsbl]

Yes, thanks, Milan!

However, it seems to be also an issue of how the request is formated. As this:

http://istsos.org/istsos/demo?request=DescribeSensor&procedure=GRABOW&service=SOS&version=1.0.0&outputFormat=text/xml;subtype="sensorML/1.0.1"

(with correct naming of the procedure) does not work.
Also the exception would be misleading if the issue only was a typo in the procedure name... Would`nt it?

[mantonovic]

I agree with you about the misleading message, we should change that message.

Parameter encoding is mandatory, text/xml;subtype="sensorML/1.0.1" contains some reserved characters (in our case: "/" ";" "="). As you can see in the IETF Standard of Uniform Resource Identifier (URI): Generic Syntax.

That's why we have to send: text%2Fxml%3Bsubtype%3D"sensorML%2F1.0.1" instead of the more readable representation.

PS: the double quotes are not encoded, that's because they are not reserved.

Thanks Milan for the explanation!
So this is not an istSOS problem and we can close the issue, right!?
If not please reopen!
