WFS using xml

[Eijnden, B. van den (Bart)]

Hi Fabio,

Please always reply to the list.

You can send it eg with Python, or PHP, whatever. You cannot use a pure HTML
form without server-side processing, since it sends using a param=value
approach (i.e. you need to remove the part before the = of the posted string
if I remember correctly).

What do you mean with: "How can I give to the server the XML path?" ?

Example for Python:

import httplib, urllib, string, base64, time

# 1) set variable for request to be posted

request="""
<GetFeature service="WFS" version="1.0.0" xmlns="http://www.opengis.net/wfs"
xmlns:gml="http://www.opengis.net/gml"
xmlns:ogc="http://www.opengis.net/ogc"
xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://schemas.opengis.net/wfs/1.0.0
WFS-basic.xsd"><Query
typeName="postcode"><ogc:Filter><ogc:And><ogc:PropertyIsLike wildCard='*'
singleChar='.' escape='!'
matchCase='false'><ogc:PropertyName>PC6</ogc:PropertyName><ogc:Literal>8044P
C*</ogc:Literal></ogc:PropertyIsLike><ogc:PropertyIsLike wildCard='*'
singleChar='.' escape='!'
matchCase='false'><ogc:PropertyName>HUISNR</ogc:PropertyName><ogc:Literal>*<
/ogc:Literal></ogc:PropertyIsLike></ogc:And></ogc:Filter></Query></GetFeatur
e>
"""
# 2) set WFS servername and hostname

# productie
server="/stragisweb/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=/ms4w/apps/stragisweb/htdocs/sit
es/zwolle/map/stragisweb.map&"
hostname="localhost:8080"

# 3) execute the request

h = httplib.HTTP(hostname)
h.putrequest("POST", server)
h.putheader("Content-type", "text/xml")
h.putheader("Content-length", "%d" % len(request))
h.putheader("Accept", "text/xml")
h.putheader('Host', hostname)
h.endheaders()
h.send(request)
reply, msg, hdrs = h.getreply()

# 4) print the response
print h.getfile().read()

Best regards,
Bart
