WFS and EPSG conversion

[Bart van den Eijnden]

Is EPSG:4326 in the SRS list of the remote server's WFS capabilities?

If so, the remote server should be able to do the conversion, you just need to specify the SRS in your request.

Best regards,
Bart

Thank you for your quick answer.

I should have clarified that I am querying some remote
WFS server whose mapfile I don't have access to.

It seems though that if the owner of the mapfile
hasn't specified the required wfs_srs metadata then I
have to do the conversion myself.

Cheers,

Donal
