[Fwd: Re: WFS gurus . . . .]

[Bob Basques]

All,

Some progress,

We've managed to add to the PROJ4 EPSG list and verified that it works 
with a WMS output.  So the new EPSG code we added works just fine as a 
WMS call.

Next we tried the same with a WFS call and got an INIT error, which was 
traced to OGR, so we then (tried to) build Mapserver without GDAL only 
to learn that WFS requires it to build.  So my question is, where is OGR 
grabbing it's Projection info from?  From the code it looks like there 
is a parser in place, but we couldn't find where it was being referenced.


Thanks for all help
