[Featureserver] BBOX request throws error for PostGIS

[Josh Livni]

Ah - I didn't think of that. 

Note, however, that featureserver (as far as I know) never responds to 
an SRS request -- it doesn't transform stuff on the fly.  Your layer is 
defined for just one SRID - if you don't specify that in your config 
file, then it defaults to 4326. 

I see the docs don't really make this obvious - I'll update them.  But 
please try instead of hardcoding the default into Postgis.py, adding 
this line to your layer config -- it should accomplish the same thing 
for you...
srid=900913

Cheers,
