[mapserver-users] WFS - invalid XML in POST request?

[Yewondwossen Assefa]

Would something like this work for the server:

<?xml version="1.0" ?><wfs:GetFeature  service="WFS" version="1.0.0" 
maxFeatures="10000" outputFormat="GML2"
  xmlns:wfs="http://www.opengis.net/wfs"
  xmlns:gml="http://www.opengis.net/gml"
  xmlns:ogc="http://www.opengis.net/ogc"
  xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
  xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.opengis.net/wfs 
http://schemas.opengis.net/wfs/1.0.0/WFS-basic.xsd">
<wfs:Query typeName="nps:MCHU">
<ogc:Filter>
<ogc:BBOX>
<ogc:PropertyName>Geometry</ogc:PropertyName>
<gml:Box>
<gml:coordinates>-613875.000000,-1351366.235392 
-143625.000000,-1116633.764608</gml:coordinates>
</gml:Box>
</ogc:BBOX>
</ogc:Filter></wfs:Query>
</wfs:GetFeature>


Note that there is a bug [1] on this (and the ogc name space you 
reported a a few weeks ago). Please take the time to check and update 
the bug since I can not test it against an Arc Server.
