[Geoserver-users] help on spatial filter WFS getFeature

I cant seem to have my bbox or any other spatial filter criteria in another
projection other than the native data projection (26911). I couldnt find
exactly the answer in the archives so i thought i'd post

does geos support spatial filters in in any projection - eg will it
reproject on the server on the fly to perform calcs? if yes can somebody
point me in the right direction?

Thanks - sample urls below
