Query features from feature source with spatial filter may produce long request

[AlenKelemen]

If I use complex spatial filter (like buffer polygon with large WKT) my request may become very long, for example: http://localhost/mapguide/rest/library/[someSource].FeatureSource/features.geojson/schema/class?filter=Geom INSIDE GeomFromText('POLYGON(( [here comes long WKT] ))'). Maybe we could improve this using POST instead GET ?

Yes, as un-restful as that may be, it's something that should be supported.

I solved this with:

 $.ajax({

 url: "http://" + location.hostname + "/mapguide/rest" + "/library/ppdVukovar/Data/imagisPlin.FeatureSource/features.geojson/plin/Ventil",
                        dataType: "text",
                        type: "POST",
                        data: "filter=Geom INSIDE GeomFromText('" + wktBuffer + "')",
                        headers: {
                            "X-HTTP-Method-Override": "GET"
                        },....
