[postgis-users] AsBinary not honouring the endianess parameter

[david.garnier at etudier-online.com]

Richard,


The answer is: Yes. See my website (http://wkb4j.sourceforge.net/), third news item.

Long story short, it is a bug, and it is fixed in the CVS version of PostGIS.
For the current version, I provided a patch.

Best Regards,
David Garnier
