Hey folks,

I am trying to hit NOAA's experimental point based weather forecast
product WFS server.  I am using mapserver as a client, and I seem to be
getting a strange incompatibility, that appears to be in a subtle
feature of the WFS query that Mapserver is putting together.  The
difference between the query that NOAA wants, and the one that mapserver
produces is in the BBOX parameter.  NOAA wants a space between the two
corners, and mapserver puts a comma, a la:

 

NOAA Wants:

BBOX=-79.6222567785354,37.8816528320313
-77.4274563562303,39.3436317443848

 

Mapserver Sends:

BBOX=-79.6222567785354,37.8816528320313,-77.4274563562303,39.34363174438
48

 

Doesn't Work (mapserver):

http://www.weather.gov/forecasts/xml/OGC_services/ndfdOWSserver.php?&REQ
UEST=GetFeature&VERSION=1.0.0&SERVICE=WFS&TYPENAME=Ndfd_KmlPoint&BBOX=-7

Works (NOAA):

Maybe I am missing some crucial configuration param?

 

Thanks in advance,
