[gdal-dev] OGR and WFS axis order

Hum, the GML driver should do the swapping back to x/y axis automatically, but
sometimes the content of the GML isn't consistant with the assumptions of the
GML driver (see my email from one hour ago related to that !)

Yes. Your problem might be (blind guessing !!!) a WFS server that reports the
SRS as "EPSG:XXXX" with y/x axis. In that case, setting GML_CONSIDER_EPSG_AS_URN
to YES should help.

Configuration options can be passed with the "--config key value" (no equal
sign) on GDAL/OGR command line utilities. Or they can be set as key=value
environment variables.
