[Mapserver-users] itemnquery - what *exactly* does it do?

I'm trying to debug a problem with the postgis connector for an itemnquery.

As far as I can tell, mode=itemnquery does:

1. open layer (with the qstring FILTER added)
2. msPOSTGISLayerWhichShapes()  - on rectangle
3. close layer

4. open layer
5. for each record returned in #2::
    msPOSTGISLayerGetShape()  -- get shape by OID
6. close layer

Is this correct?  Is anything else happening?

Why isnt msPOSTGISLayerGetItems() called?  Is it supposed to be called?


Am I missing something?
