You can't use getFeatureInfo against a WFS as it is a WMS request. You
would need to use a GetFeature request against the WFS. Look at the
demo requests provided by GeoServer to see the differences. Or
http://dev.openlayers.org/releases/OpenLayers-2.9.1/examples/getfeature-wfs.html
for a working OpenLayers example.
