[OpenLayers-Users] Featureserver + Openlayers

Dear list,

I'm trying to use OpenLayers and Feature Server.
What i'd like to do is use WFS-T protocol to make a simple feature editor.

I've set up Featureserver (beautiful software) easily under CGI, and tried
to setup something like the
WFS-Transactional example:
http://www.openlayers.org/dev/examples/wfs-protocol-transactions.html
http://www.openlayers.org/dev/examples/wfs-protocol-transactions.html 

I've had some problems using this example on my server, in particular with
WFS protocol, that I had to change to HTTP Protocol for making things work

I ended up with this code:

http://www.maurob.org/fttest/index.html

on line 113 you can find the wfs layer declaration:

//code here

wfs = new OpenLayers.Layer.Vector("Scribble", {
					protocol: new OpenLayers.Protocol.HTTP({
						url: "http://www.maurob.org/featureserver/featureserver.cgi/scribble",
						format: new OpenLayers.Format.GeoJSON()
						}),
					strategies: [
						new OpenLayers.Strategy.Fixed(),
						saveStrategy
					],
					projection:new OpenLayers.Projection("EPSG:4326")
				});


//end code


This because, if using OpenLayers.Protocol.WFS I couldn't set the right
format to talk to featureserver.

It is quite working now (can add and modify features),
Anyway, I still cannot delete feature (seems like DELETE request is not
understood by Featureserver)

Do you think mine is a reasonable setup of the wfs layer declaration in
openlayers (protocol/format) ?
which is right way to handle it?

Thanks a lot for any idea.
Mauro
