WFS POST requests: "No template provided" error

[Yewondwossen Assefa]

Hi There,

  WFS POST is supported by MapServer. Looking into this thread, you 
mentioned a couple of URLS and I have tried the follwing one : 
"http://map.ns.ec.gc.ca/MapServer/mapserv.exe?map=/mapserver/services/envdat/config.map"

  I have tried WFS post requests  describefeature and getfeature  with 
this service and It responds correctly. It is a Mapserve 4.8.3.

  I am guessing that there is something 'wrong" with the service 
accessed though the script at http://map.ns.ec.gc.ca/envdat/map.aspx 
where the post requests are not maybe transfered properly to Mapserver.

  Hopefully this helps.

Best Regards,
