[mapserver-users] OUTPUTFORMAT shapefiles instead of GML2/GML3 with WFS?

[Maarten Plieger]

Hi all,
Is it possible to configure mapserver in such a way that it returns 
shapefiles instead of GML from a WFS GetFeature request?
I would like to be able to output in GML2, GML3 and shapefiles... GML2 
and GML3 work fine.

The problem is that my GML files get very big, up to 60 megabytes, and 
my client applications (like ArcGIS) do not handle that very well.

Thank you,
Maarten Plieger
