[Geoserver-devel] namespace parameter in WFS KVP requests

Hey-

The WFS 1.1 spec adds "NAMESPACE" to the list of common WFS parameters. This allows clients that are parsing WFS capabilities to maintain the two elements required to construct a qualified feature type name (namespace uri and local name) without storing the namespace alias used in the capabilities doc.

http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-3306

I just confirmed from a nightly build that the namespace parameter in DescribeFeatureType and GetFeature requests is ignored.

Can someone comment on whether or not this is a valid issue?

Thanks,
Tim

I'm pretty sure it's a valid one :frowning:
