Hi All,
I just recently found a bug with MapServer 4.x: http://
mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1893 is the bug report.
So right now if you want to use a MapServer you will have to import
using the Wizard page and check off the "GET" check box under the
advanced section. This will circumvent the problem because the issue
only occurs with POST requests.
However since there is a limit to length there could potentially be
problems with very long filters being sent to the server. So be
aware of that.
Right now in the uDig we always send the optional parameters in the
coordinates tag and I could potentially get rid of it since we
usually use the defaults. However I don't know if that will cause
problems with other WFS servers such as Red Spider. Although,
according to the specification the attributes are optional. But then
again they are legal attributes and MapServer explodes if they are
there.
Opinions/thoughts are welcome,
Jesse
