Why is that, Phil? As far as I know, it will not be your original shapefile, rather a new shapefile encoded with no more data than the WFS response. Try it. I will be rather surprised if this was not the case. Nothing can stop the user from obtaining all your WFS data in GML and then converting it to a shapefile. > What is the best way to implement this kind of security? I do not think this can be done on a per-layer basis. But again, why would you want to? I can't see the use-case.
