[Geoserver-users] XML-file in the shapefile export

I am publishing some files using the shapefile export. This is a sample request:

http://my.server.com/geoserver/ows?service=WFS&version=1.0.0&request=GetFeature&typeName=protectedareas:forest_reserves&outputFormat=SHAPE-ZIP

The file exports files with the file types shx,shp,prj,dbf and cst. In addition wfsrequest.txt.

Since geoserver allows for some meta-data I am wondering if it is possible to have this data exported as an xml metadatafile.

I am using geoserver 2.1-SNAPSHOT (16-Oct-2012 06:19).

Cheers,

Ragnvald
