[mapserver-users] Mapserver as WFS 1.1.0 client

[Lars Fricke]

Hello,

I am trying to access an external WFS with MapServer as client to 
cascade it. I get the following error message:
msBuildWFSLayerPostRequest(): WFS connection error. MapServer supports 
only WFS 1.0.0 or 0.0.14 (please verify the version metadata wfs_version).

Indeed the external server only sends version 1.1.0 and my mapfile has:
...
METADATA
       "wfs_version"    "1.1.0"
...

Now when I search on the net, I find bug reports about WMS 1.1.0 and 
MapServer but no information if I can use it as a 1.1.0 client at all. 
And if so, do I need to use something specific to activate it?

I'm on a German Ubuntu 14.04 64bit with Apache2 and mapserv -v says:

MapServer version 6.4.1 OUTPUT=GIF OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=KML 
SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=GD SUPPORTS=AGG SUPPORTS=FREETYPE SUPPORTS=CAIRO

SUPPORTS=WFS_CLIENT SUPPORTS=WCS_SERVER SUPPORTS=SOS_SERVER 
SUPPORTS=FASTCGI SUPPORTS=THREADS SUPPORTS=GEOS INPUT=JPEG INPUT=POSTGIS

Thanks for looking into this.

Best

Lars
