[OpenLayers-Users] Visualizing WFS in Open Layers

Hi,

Your code snippet for google epsg:4326 and your wfs works. I have tried.
Also the WFS request
http://www.bsc-eoc.org/cgi-bin/bsc_ows.asp?typename=OWLS&SERVICE=WFS&VERSION
=1.0.0&REQUEST=GetFeature&SRS=EPSG%3A4326&BBOX=-205.46875,-45.46875,5.46875,
165.46875 returns the features. 

The problem is the right configuration of your proxy script or your proxy
script have failures.

Dear Till and Arnd,

thank you for your hints.

>900913 to your mapfiles header should do the job...


I tried that but so far with no success, and I wonder if it should work also
with 4326, because I reprojected the whole Map to 4326??

var options = {
    maxExtent: new OpenLayers.Bounds(7.9189,52.2102,8.1716,52.3467),
    units: 'dd',
    projection: "EPSG:4326"
};


...and the WMS I have is also in 4326 and seems to lay correctly above the
google-data.



To come to the target step-by-step without eventually projection-mismatch I
try the data from WFS-Example now:


  function init(){
            OpenLayers.ProxyHost="/cgi-bin/proxy.cgi?url=";
            map = new OpenLayers.Map('map');
            layer = new OpenLayers.Layer.WMS( "OpenLayers WMS", 
                "http://labs.metacarta.com/wms/vmap0", {layers: 'basic'} );
            map.addLayer(layer);

            layer = new OpenLayers.Layer.WFS( "Owl Survey",
                "http://www.bsc-eoc.org/cgi-bin/bsc_ows.asp?",
                {typename: "OWLS"},
                { featureClass: OpenLayers.Feature.WFS});
            map.addLayer(layer);
            map.addControl(new OpenLayers.Control.LayerSwitcher());
            map.setCenter(new OpenLayers.LonLat(-100, 60), 3);
        }


...but also there on my development server the wfs is not visualized???

I set the proxy.cgi to the servers cgi-bin but without success (the
proxy-cgi is executable and readable by the apache-group).

Definetely cgi-scripts are parsed (I tested it with a little
"Hello-World"-Python-Cgi.

Bugtracker gives me after loading wfs.html in "red" a

http://www.gastronomap.de/cgi-bin/proxy.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bsc-eoc.org
%2Fcgi-bin%2Fbsc_ows.asp%

6SRS%3DEPSG%253A4326%26BBOX%
3D-205.46875%2C-45.46875%2C5.46875%2C165.46875

....if I open that in a browser nothing at all occurs, puh....


I wonder what else might create that error,hmmmmm, well maybe tomorrow I
will find a solution.

Best regards, Kai
