Assefa,

This is using MapServer as a WFS server (not a client), right?
I didn't think that MapServer itself would write out a .gfs file to
go with a .gml result.  My understanding was that .gfs files
are only created by OGR when opening a previously unopened
gml file.

I have done quite a bit of work in GDAL post-1.2.5 to support
GML 3 Level 0 schemas, and in this case OGR is not supposed
to create a .gfs file.  But you mention you are using GDAL 1.2.5
in both cases, right?

Are the GML files similar?

I'm pretty confused too!

Best regards,
