[Geoserver-users] Problem with WFS, BBOX and EPSG:900913

Hi list,

I've got this problem with WFS and Google projection: when I request
features using SRSNAME=EPSG:900913, i cannot use a BBOX parameter in
that projection (unless I specify it as the '5th coordinate'). Shouldn't
the BBOX obey the SRSNAME and units?

Example:

Fails
http://localhost:8080/geoserver/wfs?request=GetFeature&version=1.0.0&typeName=topp:states&SRSNAME=EPSG:900913&BBOX=-13885038.38296092,2870337.13079368,-7455049.48918242,6338174.05575762

Works
http://localhost:8080/geoserver/wfs?request=GetFeature&version=1.0.0&typeName=topp:states&SRSNAME=EPSG:900913&BBOX=-13885038.38296092,2870337.13079368,-7455049.48918242,6338174.05575762,EPSG:900913

Am I missing something here?

Regards, Roald

Got an answer from jdeolive on IRC:

<jdeolive> rdewit: nope, they are separate unfortunately... the wfs 1.1
spec specifies that is how it is

Thanx.
