You can use WFS.

Create an "intersects" (or "contains") spatial with filter. See
<http://dev.openlayers.org/apidocs/files/OpenLayers/Filter/Spatial-js.html>.
And send this filter through a WFS protocol. See the wfs-protocol.html
example to know how to create a WFS protocol. To send the filter you'd
use protocol.read({filter: yourSpatialFilter}).

Hope it helps,
