[OpenLayers-Users] WFS Layer / Vector Layer

[bartvde at osgis.nl]

Hi Andrew,

nope, only POST is supported. Why would you want GET? I had this
discussion with Tim Schaub in the past and I could not think of a good
reason why I wanted GET if POST also works for the WFS product. Maybe you
have a good reason though?

Best regards,
Bart
