[gdal-dev] OGR WFS WFSLayerMetadata broken

[Jeremy Palmer]

I'm trying to setup a simple python script to query the WFS layers from a service. When using the special WFSLayerMetadata layer it seems to get screwed up. After the first comma within an abstract is found the field alignment becomes broken..

If I look here http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/browser/trunk/gdal/ogr/ogrsf_frmts/wfs/ogrwfsdatasource.cpp#L1221 it seems the fields are being double quoted before being included into temp CSV data

This is the place where the temp mem CSV layer is actually created:
http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/browser/trunk/gdal/ogr/ogrsf_frmts/wfs/ogrwfsdatasource.cpp#L242

any ideas?

See script below. 

---script---

import ogr
import gdal

wfs_drv = ogr.GetDriverByName('WFS')

gdal.SetConfigOption('OGR_WFS_LOAD_MULTIPLE_LAYER_DEFN', 'NO')

# Note: if you want to use the URL below you need to sign up at
# data.linz.govt.nz and create yourself an API key...
ds = ogr.Open('WFS:http://wfs.data.linz.govt.nz/<my-private-key>/wfs')

layermetadata = ds.GetLayerByName("WFSLayerMetadata")

feat = layermetadata.GetNextFeature()
while feat is not None:
    name = feat.GetFieldAsString('layer_name')
    title = feat.GetFieldAsString('title')
    print( "%s, %s" % (name, title) )
    feat = layermetadata.GetNextFeature()
feat = None

exit(0)
