What I’m trying to do is so basic, I’m sure that many have done this, yet I’ve been unsuccessful. I thought this would be easy. With much searching I have found similar questions, but nothing actually answering or showing a working example of this.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I’m using mapserver 6.2.1 and the current OpenLayers.js. I can run the wfs.map file using shp2img and get a valid response from mapserver, I can run non-spatial filters using my OpenLayers WFS call to mapserver. The POST request sent to mapserver with the spatial query looks fine, but I simply get the not very helpful “premature end of script headers : mapserv” in response. The spatial input is a hand-drawn polygon in OpenLayers and the intersection at the mapserver end is a postgis table containing a polygon field. The table is large, but a spatial restriction should always yield a manageable number of records. Without a spatial restriction in the filter, I’ve noticed that mapserver tried to load all the data, so have currently restricted it to 100 records for testing/debugging. I’m assuming once I get the spatial filter that this will restrict the number of records retrieved on the server side. I have some assumptions, but as I said I’ve not been able to find a working example of this online, maybe because its too simple and everyone but me has it working?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Should what I’m trying to do work or am I just beating my head against the wall?
