[Featureserver] Service type does not support adding features

[Alexandre Dube]

Hi,

  While trying to create post new features from OpenLayers to a 
type=PostGIS layer, I get the following error message :

<error message>
An error occurred: Service type does not support adding features.

  File "/opt/featureserver/trunk/web_request/handlers.py", line 219, in cgi

    accepts = accepts )

  File "/opt/featureserver/trunk/FeatureServer/Server.py", line 152, in 
dispatchRequest request.parse(params, path_info, host, post_data, 
request_method)  File 
"/opt/featureserver/trunk/FeatureServer/Service/__init__.py", line 77, 
in parse
   actions = self.handle_post(params, path_info, host, post_data, 
request_method, format_obj = format_obj)

  File "/opt/featureserver/trunk/FeatureServer/Service/__init__.py", 
line 183, in handle_post

    raise Exception("Service type does not support adding features.")
</error message>

  It's not the first time I use FeatureServer + PostGIS but it's the 
first time I get this error.  I tried with trunk & 1.12 but got the 
error with both.

  I copied the GeoJSON in the POST request, put it in a file and 
executed the following command :

curl -d @myfile.geojson 
http://myhost/featureserver/trunk/featureserver.cgi/gmap_popp/create.geojson

  and it worked.  The feature was added to the PostGIS table and I can 
see it in my OpenLayers application.

  What could be wrong ?

<config-sample>
[gmap_popp]
type=PostGIS
dsn=host=localhost port=myport dbname=gmap user=myuser
layer=popplace
fid=gid
geometry=the_geom
srid=42304
</config-sample>

  Thanks,
