[Featureserver] Fwd: postgis connection

[Bobby Braswell]

alas, this only works with points, not lines or polygons.  
OpenLayers-2.5 (see https://portsmouthresponse.unh.edu/testmap.html)  
generates the following:

{"type":"FeatureCollection","features": 
[{"type":"Feature","id":"OpenLayers.Feature.Vector_393","properties": 
{},"geometry":{"type":"Point","coordinates": 
[-70.77940063476562,43.425469970703126]}}],"crs": 
{"type":"OGC","properties":{"urn":"urn:ogc:def:crs:OGC:1.3:CRS84"}}}

which is for a point, and which loads into postgis. For a line, you get:

{"type":"FeatureCollection","features": 
[{"type":"Feature","id":"OpenLayers.Feature.Vector_499","properties": 
{},"geometry":{"type":"LineString","coordinates": 
[[-70.37565307617187,43.554559326171876], 
[-70.87827758789062,43.535333251953126]]}}],"crs": 
{"type":"OGC","properties":{"urn":"urn:ogc:def:crs:OGC:1.3:CRS84"}}}

which is not saved. Is this the GeoJSON issue?

Sorry, I thought I was going to be out of your hair.

Best,
Rob Braswell
