Hi, It looks like it is not possible to use some special characters in filters with OGR WFS driver.
This command works fine: http://188.64.1.61/cgi-bin/tinyows -sql "select * from municipalities where kunta_ni1='Helsinki'" However, the WFS request fails if I use fore example 'Saarijärvi' as an attribute value. The reason is that character 'ä' does not get URL-encoded into %C3%A4 as it should in the GetFeature request. This is the request that is sent to WFS server. http://188.64.1.61/cgi-bin/tinyows?SERVICE=WFS&VERSION=1.1.0&REQUEST=GetFeature&TYPENAME=lv:municipalities&FILTER=%3CFilter%20xmlns=%22http://www.opengis.net/ogc%22%20xmlns:lv=%22http://latuviitta.fi/%22%20xmlns:gml=%22http://www.opengis.net/gml%22%3E%3CPropertyIsEqualTo%3E%3CPropertyName%3Ekunta_ni1%3C/PropertyName%3E%3CLiteral%3ESaarij�rvi%3C/Literal%3E%3C/PropertyIsEqualTo%3E%3C/Filter%3E Placing %C3%A4 into where it belongs makes the request to work. I am on Windows XP with Finnish default settings. Is this something worth filing a ticket or what? -Jukka Rahkonen- _______________________________________________ gdal-dev mailing list gdal-dev@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/gdal-dev
