Hello all,
I know GDAL has a WMS and WCS driver, but no WFS driver.
After looking into the mailing list archives I have found no references
to a WFS driver.
For my job, we have developped such a driver (in readonly mode, but
write mode is planned) , based on OGR and its GML driver.
Is it interesting for GDAL/OGR users to have a WFS driver ? If yes, I
could spend time to put our code into gdal source (actually it is
separate from gdal source because of a specific compiling process) and
then send it in order to be integrated in the svn trunk.
Johan,
We are indeed interested in having a WFS driver for OGR - whether read-only
or read-write. There has been discussion of doing this in the past but
there was never sufficient resources to pursue it.
I'd suggest preparing the driver code and submitting it as a ticket. But,
assuming you are willing, I'd like to propose you as a commiter to take
care of final integration and ongoing support. An existing commiter will
presumably also be involved to do some review and support.
I would like to see such a WFS driver use the existing libcurl interface
(as defined in cpl_http.h) if it doesn't already.
I'm also curious what you do for parsing the GML. Do you process it through
the existing OGR GML driver?
Best regards,
