[Geoserver-users] [WFS] DescribeFeatureTypeResponse in SOAP

Hi,

When I perform a DescribeFeatureType WFS request using REST, I have the following response :
xsd:schema…</xsd:schema>

Hi,

When I perform a DescribeFeatureType WFS request using REST, I have the following response :
xsd:schema…</xsd:schema>
It seems to be OK.

If I perform the same request using SOAP, I have the following response :
soap:Envelope...
<soap:Header />
<soap:Body type=“xsd:base64”>
<wfs:DescribeFeatureTypeResponse …>sdjqjkhfiIUHsdg8JDK8BJdo…</wfs:DescribeFeatyreTypeResponse>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

Why a “wfs:DescribeFeatureTypeResponse” element is returned, and not an XML Schema ?
Why the response is encoded into base64 ?

Kind regards,

Rudy
