[mapserver-users] OUTPUTFORMAT shapefiles instead of GML2/GML3 with WFS?

2008-12-02 Thread Maarten Plieger

Hi all,
Is it possible to configure mapserver in such a way that it returns 
shapefiles instead of GML from a WFS GetFeature request?
I would like to be able to output in GML2, GML3 and shapefiles... GML2 
and GML3 work fine.


The problem is that my GML files get very big, up to 60 megabytes, and 
my client applications (like ArcGIS) do not handle that very well.


Thank you,
Maarten Plieger

Hi Maarten,

no unfortunately not, there used to be talk about an OGR output driver, so
that any OGR (write) format could be written, but this was never
implemented.

Geoserver does have this functionality.

Would be nice to have this in Mapserver though.

Best regards,
Bart
