Can Filter Encoding be used with HTTP GET Method

I have reviewed the Filter Encoding Implementation Specification and it looks like you must use the HTTP POST method to send the XML filters. Is that correct? Or is it possible to use the HTTP GET to communicate the filter information?

Yes, in response to my

mail message today Panagiotis Vretano sent an e-mail indicating that I should use the "ows:ExtendedCapabilities" element to specify required service inputs like the kind I'm considering.

Cool. Thanks.

Also, did you ever receive feedback from your posting to wfs.dev?

Thanks for the follow up

Carl,

My development efforts haven't progressed far enough to determine if the filter encoding will work for HTTP GET. In fact, I may be able to avoid the use of filter encoding by simply requiring the user to provide additional input elements (latitude, longitude, weather parameter, and time) in the request.

When our WFS matures a bit, I'll post any success I have with filter encoding as a response to this e-mail.

Regards,

John
