There are a bunch of reasons why this is convoluted, mostly in building the URL to make the request:

  1. You have to rely on an AJAX request, this example uses jQuery
  2. To make a GetFeatureInfo request, you must provide a BBOX for a image, and the pixel coordinates for the part of the image that you want info from. A couple of squirrely lines of Leaflet code can give you that.
  3. Output formats. The info_format parameter in the request. We don't know a priori which will be supported by a WMS that we might make a request to. See Geoserver's docs for what formats are available from Geoserver. That won't be the same from WMS to WMS, however.
  4. WMS services return XML docs when there's a mistake in the request or in processing. This sends an HTTP 200, which jQuery doesn't think is an error.

@ultramenid I Found the solution. In getFeatureInfoUrl function just specify the attributes you want to see in propertyName parameter. e.g propertyName: "attr1,attr2,attr3,attr4,attr5"

Amazing! Works out of the box with jquery 3.6.3 and Leaflt 1.9.2. Thanks 👍

I needed pictures in (html) popups, so I made the following changes:

  // with thumbs
	showGetFeatureInfo: function (
		err,
		latlng,
		content
		// signaturaFromUrl
	) {
		if (err) {
			console.log(err);
			return;
		}

		var tempDiv = document.createElement('div');
		tempDiv.innerHTML = content;
		var rows = tempDiv.querySelectorAll('tr');

		// var shouldFlyTo = false; // Initialize the flag

		for (var i = 0; i < rows.length; i++) {
			var row = rows[i];
			var cells = row.querySelectorAll('th, td');

			// console.log(header);

			if (cells.length >= 2) {
				var header = cells[0].textContent.trim();
				var value = cells[1].textContent.trim();

				if (header === 'signatura') {
					console.log('Header:', header);
					console.log('Value:', value);
				}

				if (header === 'foto_url') {
					var imgUrl = value.replace(/["']/g, '');
					var thumbUrl;
					var publicIndex = imgUrl.indexOf('/public/');
					if (publicIndex !== -1) {
						thumbUrl =
							imgUrl.slice(0, publicIndex + '/public/'.length) +
							'thumbs/' +
							imgUrl.slice(publicIndex + '/public/'.length);
					}
					console.log(imgUrl, thumbUrl);

					var newRow = document.createElement('tr');
					newRow.style.width = '100%';
					var newCell = document.createElement('td');
					newCell.colSpan = 2;
					var image = document.createElement('img');
					image.src = thumbUrl;
					image.alt = 'thumb';
					image.style.minWidth = '300px';
					image.style.width = '100%';
					image.style.marginTop = '8px';

					newCell.appendChild(image);
					newRow.appendChild(newCell);
					//
					row.parentNode.replaceChild(newRow, row);
				} else {
					if (value === 'NULL' || value === '') {
						row.parentNode.removeChild(row);
					}
				}
			}
		}

		var filteredContent = tempDiv.innerHTML;
		// console.log(filteredContent);
		L.popup({ minWidth: '500px', width: '100%' })
			.setLatLng(latlng)
			.setContent(filteredContent)
			.openOn(this._map);

	},
