[Mapbender-dev] Re: Catalog Schema and Storing Op values

[Armin Retterath]

hi mifam,
i am sorry, we need the post urls too, cause the specification demands post 
for  GetRecords and DescribeRecords. many catalogues would only implement 
this minimal demands. 'get' is in this two cases only nice too have. 
please see http://www.mapbender.org/CSW_Requirements point 8.
cheers
