<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I am trying to use WFS published layers from MGOS 1.1.0 and read them in ArcGIS 9.2 using the data interoperability extension which is based on Safe Software FME. I also have stand-alone FME and it exhibits the same behavior. An MGOS server can be designated as the WFS server and it will issue a WFS GetCapabilities request (via a GET rather than POST) and will retrieve an apparently valid GML document. But, when going any further including choosing a specific WFS resource, it will fail. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I am also using Fiddler to intercept the requests and results it looks like GetFeature is returning valid GML, but the FME GML parser is not liking it for some reason. Can someone at Autodesk please give this a try with FME and see what happens on your end? Try using the Sheboygan city limits feature source. I am trying to determine if this is a problem with the WFS provider returning slightly invalid GML or if it's a problem with FME. To compound the problem, FME works fine with other non-MGOS WFS servers and I can get MGOS WFS to work with Gaia.</FONT></P>
