POST search requests crashing due to bbox having the same pair of coords

[ggcr]

This is a copy of the issue opened at Radiant Earth stac-api-spec repo.

It is not urgent but I thought it's something the developers should be aware of.

Finally I would like to point out the great performance the API has, after playing with quite a lot of APIs (some of big contributors with plenty of resources...) this is by far the best one, kudos to the dev team.

Hi everyone,

While working with the API, I tried to input as bbox parameter a "window" of 0 size, having then a pair of the same coordinates. This is making the POST request to crash.

Is this intended? If yes, I have not been able to found a parameter for a single-coordinate or kinda similar.

POST /search crashing ❌

@ https://earth-search.aws.element84.com/v0/search
// body
{
  "collections": ["sentinel-s2-l2a-cogs"],
  "bbox": [
    -110,
    39,
    -110,
    39
  ]
}

I used the hacky way of adding a little offset as a quick fix for my use case but I am sure you guys will found a better way! :)

POST /search not crashing ✅

@ https://earth-search.aws.element84.com/v0/search
// body
{
  "collections": ["sentinel-s2-l2a-cogs"],
  "bbox": [
    -110,
    39,
    -110.00001,
    39.00001
  ]
}

Clarified with OGC API team that these degenerate bboxes should be supported. API spec will be updated soon to metion this case: radiantearth/stac-api-spec#390
