[Gdal-dev] OGR WFS driver

[Frank Warmerdam]

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,
