[mapserver-users] WFS - invalid XML in POST request?

[Miloslav Kmeť]

Hi. I tried the following request: http://pastebin.ca/1862976

I get an error from the service:
Xml Parsing failed.
Reason:A declaration was not closed.

Linepos:1
Source:<.

The new XML you wrote seems to be valid, so I think, this is a bug in ArcGIS, 
so I'll contact our supplier about that. If I'll get a response, I'll let you 
know about that.

If you don't have any ArcGIS WFS service to test, don't hesitate to try ours:
http://globus.sazp.sk/arcgis/services/nipi/protected_sites/MapServer/WFSServer?service=wfs&request=getcapabilities&version=1.0.0

I would like to update the ticket, but I have problem to get to trac. (Request 
timeouts).

Thank you.

Below is the full HTTP communication with the new XML:
