[Mapserver-users] wfs doubt

[Yewondwossen Assefa]

The capabilities are correct, the DWithin is the one that is supported. 
The Within is not supported right now. The diffrence between the 2 is 
the Within can use either a gml:Geometry or a gml:Box but the DWithin is 
  only using the gml:Geometry.  The parsing of a gml bbox is not 
included in that part of the code although It will be a minor effort to 
do that.

  I have entered a bug im mapserver (Bug 712) so that the Within will be 
added in tyhe next release.

Later,
