Hi Yewondwossen Assefa,<br>
dear List members,<br>
<br>
thank you for your answer.<br>
During the last hours I include your hint with the forced request
method: "wfs_request_method" "GET" <br>
and I also found something else on my own: <br>
<br>
I left the port number (8088) in the URL string:<br>
So, in my case the complet request is called: <br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://babyz.uni-muenster.de:8088/wfs/WFS">http://babyz.uni-muenster.de:8088/wfs/WFS</a>?<br>
This might also be the reason why you did not work for you, too!<br>
<br>
When sending above mentioned request the server sends a complete .gml
file which is stored in my tmp directory.<br>
Nevertheless still these coordinates are not drawn from the mapserver. <br>
<br>
The beginning of the .gml file sounds like this:<br>
<br>

<br>
(... hundreds of coordinate pairs are following!) <br>
<br>
the gml file is stored in the /srv/www/htdocs/tmp directory<br>
I am running the mapserver vers: 4.2.3 with wms client/server and wfs
client7server support <br>
(that it what the mapserver gives back when typing the ./mapserv -v
command!)<br>
<br>
does anybody have an idea what could still be wrong?<br>
<br>
thanks <br>

other thing you can try is to force mapserver to send Get request to

You should also test the wfs_server by manulally sending some requests
to make sure that that the wfs responsd properly. Does the <a

(and dear List Members), <br>
<br>
first of all I would like to apologize my late response on your quick <br>
answer! <br>
Unfortunatelly I was too busy to spend time on my WFS problem the last <br>
couple of hours. <br>
<br>
Regarding your answer I chanched the string: <br>
<br>
CONNECTION <br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E"

<br>

href="http://babyz.uni-muenster.de?/wfs/WFS?">"http://babyz.uni-muenster.de?/wfs/WFS?"</a>
<br>
(you find the whole mapfile at the bottom of my answer) <br>
<br>
This resulted in the following gml-file which was stored in the /tmp <br>
directory: <br>

<br>
<br>

<br>
As you mentioned earlier the WFS Server does not seem to be able to
cope <br>
with the POST request. <br>
What does this mean ... and what can I do now? <br>
For the first steps with WFS it might be an more promissing way to
start <br>
with another WFS server which is able to work with POST requests? <br>
Would you - Or anybody else - know another WFS server and would also be
<br>
able to give me the necessary coordinates? <br>
<br>
many thanks beforehand <br>

could you try using a connection string without parameters. The

through the METADATA and not in the connection string. <br>

<br>
<br>
Also, does your WFS server support HTTP POST requests? <br>
<br>
Are there any error messages in your error logs? Is the gml actually <br>
being <br>
downloaded to the tmp directory? <br>
<br>
Best regards, <br>
