[OpenLayers-Users] Problem with a WFS request

[bartvde at osgis.nl]

Hi Arthur,

check out the console tab of Firebug, and make sure XMLHttp requests are
on (check out options on the right in Firebug).

It's because OpenLayers uses POST by default for WFS, so that's why you
don't see any parameters. You will see the POST body though in Firebug.

Best regards,
Bart
