Geometric operation DWITHIN and WITHIN returns wrong results

[MV88]

how to reproduce:

• Open the Test WFS Map
• Create a polygon as descrivbed in the picture below
• Click search

It should return only WA and OR but it seems to use degrees and not meters

here is the request

if i use this spatial filter the results are wrong, i.e. it returns 0 features

this happens using leaflet.

no problem with openlayers.

The WFS DWithin filter won't work, it's a well know and very old GeoServer issue:

By the way, fixing the issue above is some medium work, but not as hard as it seems, assuming one can do a rough meter to degree translation like it's done in mapserver (which works for small distances)
