[mapserver-users] WFS Spatial Filter Problem

[Bryan Hempen]

Hi there!

These are things that I've tried in the meantime:


- Manually sending the request to the server, but without different 
results compared to using OpenLayers functions. Also trying to force the 
usage of the proxy.cgi by containing it in the URL, but didn't bring up 
different results.

- Thought about the solution as suggested by the John, but substituting 
a Polygon with a BBOX only works for rectangular Polygons! I need to be 
able to specify arbitrary Polygons/Shapes. I am sure the solution 
proposed by him will work,
  because it will be just a request just like the one that already works.

- Thought about trying a newer version of the MapServer. However, I run 
is the newest ms4w on my local machone and I remember that I had the 
same problem a few weeks ago. Furthermore, John had the same problem 
with MapServer 6.0.0,
and since then nothing changed about WFS or filter encoding according to 
the release announcements.

- Thought sending a GET request instead of a POST request could solve 
the problem! They provided examples in the documentation with links, 
something they definitely wouldn't have done in case those examples 
wouldn't work! However, even
GET requests didn't work! What is strange: Also got errors with code 
500. Shouldn't the mapserver return some error message?

I AM CONFUSED! Please heeeelp!

Regards,
Bryan
