| Properties | |
| unsupportedBrowsers | {Array} Array with browsers, which should use the HTTP-GET protocol instead of HTTP-POST for fetching tiles from a WMS . |
| Constructor | |
| OpenLayers. Layer. WMS.Post | Creates a new WMS layer object. |
{Array} Array with browsers, which should use the HTTP-GET protocol instead of HTTP-POST for fetching tiles from a WMS . Defaults to [“mozilla”, “firefox”, “opera”], because Opera is not able to show transparent images in IFrames and Firefox/Mozilla has some ugly effects of viewport-shaking when panning the map. Both browsers, Opera and Firefox/Mozilla, have no problem with long urls, which is the reason for using POST instead of GET. The strings to pass to this array are the ones returned by <OpenLayers.Util.getBrowserName()>.
