Frode,
I'm not sure where the email from Johan came from. Perhaps it was on
the list some time ago?
I am not aware of Johan, or anyone else, having contributed a WFS driver
to OGR. I do think it would be an interesting thing to have, and I have
contemplated doing one from time to time.
Best regards,

Hello
Was WFS support in OGR implemented?
I can't find any docs about it?

Hello,
Some informations about our driver :
- It uses existing OGR GML driver to parse WFS server message and knows
only gml 1.0 answer, so you must specified
answer in gml 1.0 in your requests to the server. It should not be
difficult to add zipped gml, but for another format
(such as shape) it will be a more complex thing to do.
- A specific request is done to get capabilities of a wfs server and a
xerces parser is used to scan the answer
- curl is directly used, no call to cpl_http.h, sorry.
- It does not understand WFS style tag.
- In fact, it is used to do geometric request on layers and parse the
answer to produce ogr data.
Next week, I will try to build it directly in ogr (for gdal 1.5.3 release)
and look into cpl_http.h.
As for being a commiter, I'm sorry but I can't do that during my working
time.
Regards,
Johan.
