[mapserver-users] Mapserfer Wfs and Mapinfo

[Iacovlev Pavel]

Ok I know where the bug is, first of all as written In the begging of the post 
I run the wfs server as phpmapscript, so that means no CGI, to load the 
parameters passed to the script I use : 

$request = ms_newowsrequestobj();
foreach ($_REQUEST as $key =>$value) {
	$request->setParameter($key, $value);
}

not because I love this way, just because $request->loadParams(); just does 
not work in non CGI environment at all. 

Ok now in GetCapabilities response we tell the WFS client "<Post 
onlineResource="http://dev1.dmsolutions.ca/cgi-bin/mswfs_gmap?"/>" hey we can 
accept RAW XML DATA as POST, that data comes to PHP but it's not in the 
$_REQUEST object, but in "php://input", that means that $request does not get 
populated and we get an "empty" request.

2 ways of fixing this :
1) Easy & Dirty :
$buffer = str_replace("<Post 
onlineResource=\"$yourWfsServerAddressHere\" />", '', $buffer);

this will just won't allow the client to send HTTP POST REQUEST with XML RAW 
DATA

2) Pupulate the request object withRAW  XML DATA, need help from the community 
here : "How do you populate the $request = ms_newowsrequestobj(); with RAW 
XML DATA" ?
