OGC:WMS by nature only provides graphical images of geospatial data, so,
unless you have something like feature recognition tools, or good raster
to vector converters, you cannot do this with OGC:WMS in MapServer.

As OGC:WFS provides OGC:GML support, you can use the ogr2ogr tool
(http://gdal.maptools.org/ogr/ogr2ogr.html) to convert OGC:GML to one of
the supported formats (http://gdal.maptools.org/ogr/ogr_formats.html).
