[Qgis-user] Convert WMS Layer to Vector

[Andrea Peri]

Hi,
I agree with your response because richard ask for an entire dataset.

I like only add that if the user is likely to retrieve the single feature
it could try to do a
GetFeatureInfo (the identify of qgis) on the wms layer asking for "feature"
instead of "html"

The wms often return the geometry.

Regards,
Andrea
