[Live-demo] Re: Should 52 North WPS continue to be included on OSGeo-Live?

[Angelos Tzotsos]

Hi Bastian,

The test that fails is based on the first page presented to the user after
starting up 52NWPS.

The page is a tester and has a predefined WPS POST XML request.
So a user sees a "Send" button. This is where the outdated WFS is located.
Pressing this send button fails.
OK, this is minor, but for a user with no WPS WFS experience, this is the
first thing he will try.

Regards,
Angelos
