[mapserver-users] Re: WFS Client through Proxy and HTTP Authentication

[Daniel Morissette]

Hi Bill,

It turns out that proxy and auth support is not implemented in the WFS 
client layer code. It is only present in the WMS layer code.

I have created a ticket for this and attached an untested patch to it:
http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/3982

The final fix will require a cleaner job, but this quick patch should 
work if you are able to build from source.

Daniel
