[QGIS-Developer] QGIS-Server: filter by categories in an OGC compatible way

Tue Apr 9 12:31:41 PDT 2019

Hi Jonathan,

I am aware about the limit in GET requests.

Are you sure that WMS servers don't support POST requests?

Some Google hits suggest otherwise

Geoserver:

UMN:

https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/232215/mapserver-wms-http-post-requests

I am pretty sure that QGIS Server also allows POST requests, but I may 
be wrong.
