Anna,

   What does your C:\ms4w\Apache\logs\tinows.log file contain ?

   Also yeah you should use --post-data='<wfs:GetFeature...' and not 
--post-data="<wfs:GetFeature...".  If your dataset isn't too big, you 
could remove the <ogc:Filter> node.  Also, try replacing 
xmlns:feature="http://127.0.0.1/" by xmlns:tows="http://127.0.0.1/".

HTH,

Alexandre
