[Geoserver-users] can you pass a filter to a getfeatureinfo request?

Well in fact I know you *can* pass in a filter to geoserver's wms what
I want to know is should geoserver be paying any attention to it?

I'm pretty sure my filter is fine as I use it to draw the map I'm
querying and that looks fine. But when I make a getFeatureInfo request
I get back a feature from the right place but not the one that was
drawn on the map.

For example goto
http://www.geovista.psu.edu/pubmed/pagereq?request=tag&tag=viral&format=html
and click on one of the dots, the response that comes back should have
tag=viral (or one of the alternates above) in it but doesn't which
makes me suspect the filter is being ignored.

So I guess the question is should I file this as a bug or an
enhancement request?

Yeah, I realized the issue was there just after releasing 1.5.0.
It's GEOS-1008, I just rescheduled it against 1.5.1.
