[mapserver-users] How can I set the output format of WFS getfeature request to text/html?

Hi,

Probably the best I could do for you would be to encourage you do your own homeworks and read some basic documents about WFS and WMS, but ok, take these advice for free.

Text/html is not WFS outputformat. It is WMS GetFeatureInfo outputformat. Default outputformat for WFS is GML but additional ones can be added with OGR Output http://mapserver.org/output/ogr_output.html

In another question you asked about templates. They exist for configuring text/html output, for example WMS GetFeatureInfo when request is done with outputformat=text/html. It may be that configuring a text/html output for GetFeatureInso is not extremely well documented so you here is an example that is not tested but should be close to a working set.

Mapfile
LAYER
     NAME "GetFeatureInfo_layer"
     TYPE POLYGON
     STATUS ON
     DATA "GetFeatureInfo.shp"
     UNITS METERS
     DUMP TRUE
     DEBUG 5
     SIZEUNITS PIXELS
     TOLERANCE 3
     HEADER    "\data\template\GetFeatureInfo_header.html"
     TEMPLATE  "\data\template\GetFeatureInfo_template.html"
     FOOTER    "\data\template\GetFeatureInfo_footer.html"
     TOLERANCEUNITS PIXELS
     METADATA
            "wms_include_items" "GetFeatureInfo_items"
            "wms_title"    "GetFeatureInfo_layer"
            "wms_srs" "EPSG:4326"
     END
     PROJECTION
            "init=epsg:4326" 
     END
 END
