[Mapserver-users] MS 4 beta2, problems with queryByPoint andPostGIS

[Armin Burger]

Assefa,

thanks for the new version. The function 'queryByPoint' now works fine.
When doing a 'queryByRect' everything is ok if the query selects not too
many records of the Postgis layer, lets say 10 to 20. If it finds more
then the php.exe hangs. It's not possible to kill this php process. The
test constellation was Mapserver on Windows and Postgis 0.7.3 on Linux
with Postgres 7.3.

I will have a closer look with a stripped down query function (no html
output, etc) to test when the problem with 'queryByRect' begins.

Armin
