Hi,<br>
<br>
I'm getting an unusual response from mapserver when I make a WFS request with filter <br>
encoding on a layer that uses a tile index; it returns a box with -1 as all corners. Is <br>
there anything that can be done to make this work, or is this a know limitation of <br>
mapserver?<br>
<br>
WFS works on the layer with the tile index as long as I don't use any FE. WFS with FE <br>
works on a test layer that references one of the shapefiles directly instead of the tile <br>
index. Below is some information about what I'm trying and my environment:<br>
<br>
