Actually, afaik, it's not part of the basic WMS spec, but it's specified among the SLD 1.0 WMS specific extensions, so don't just assume every server will support it. GeoServer does accept such a request, and can eat even a POST request build up as a form if you set the proper mime type, this allows one to build the request just like the GET one, using GET keys are the form field names, and the key values as the form values. Hope this helps Cheers Andrea -- Andrea Aime OpenGeo - http://opengeo.org GeoServer optimization and fine tuning _______________________________________________ Dev mailing list Dev@openlayers.org http://openlayers.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
