  Hi,

  Just thinking, but is there such a thing like scale with WFS actually?
Does Mapserver know at all at which scale the client is going to show the
vectors? Is there a way do define minimum and maximun bounding boxes
instead?

    Hi,

    I configured a mapfile for a WFS service.
    The MINSCALE and MAXSCALE dont seem to be working properly since data is
displayed at any scale ...
    I did the same thing for a WMS service (another mapfile) and it works
fine.
    Any idea why it doesn't work with WFS ?

    Other question:
    Is it true to say that when I connect to a WFS service and I display a
particular layer, all the data from that layer is loaded initially. This
causes the first display to be slower but any modification to my view
afterwards (zoom area, zoom out, pan, etc ...) is (almost) instantly since
data is all on the client side ...
