[OpenLayers-Users] SaveStrategy does not work - WFSProtocol with Vector Layer

[moataz Elmasry]

I might be wrong, but maybe your problem might be related to proxy 
issues. are you using proxy.cgi?
Maybe you want to see check threads out:
http://n2.nabble.com/Problem-with-WFS-proxy-cgi-td4662347.html
http://old.nabble.com/proxy.cgi-for-WFS-td20239114.html

open layer has its own python proxy
http://trac.openlayers.org/browser/trunk/openlayers/examples/proxy.cgi

The big problem is that proxy issues fails silently. So this might be 
the case with with you
Best of luck
