J.F.:  If you are using the development version then yes, just set:

  GML_GEOMETRIES "none"

That modification is not part of 4.8.x...

Hello,

Is it possible to get features from a WFS without the geometry being
automatically included?

There are cases (many, actually) where I want to query attributes, but am
not interested in the geometry.

In many cases there, it's a problem, because the feature are very big, and I
suffer a big performance impact from the geometry being there, even though I
don't need it.

I tried:

GML_EXCLUDE_ITEMS "msGeometry"

And

GML_GEOMETRIES ""

Without any luck ...

Thanks!
