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

[bartvde at osgis.nl]

Hi Maarten,

no unfortunately not, there used to be talk about an OGR output driver, so
that any OGR (write) format could be written, but this was never
implemented.

Geoserver does have this functionality.

Would be nice to have this in Mapserver though.

Best regards,
Bart
