[TinyOWS-users] GetFeature POST fails with TiinyOWS 0.9.0

[Rahkonen Jukka]

Hi,

I was not accurate in my last mail about featuretype names, their are allowed otherwise, but in theory not in requests. I hope this copy-paste clarifies this kind of a bug in the standard. The one who answers is Mr. Markus Schneider.

Hi,

years ago I sent this question to the WFS working group (cannot find the post at the moment). Basically, the answer was
that the schema is broken, but it's o.k. to use underscores. If this wasn't the case, it would actually not be possible
to work with most application schemas in the WFS...

Best regards,
Markus
