[GRASS-dev] v.in.wfs

Hi all.
The module apparently requires curl, but this is not a requirement of the package. I have the QGIS module ready, but before committing it we should add this dependency, otherwise in many systems it will not work.
Any thoughts?
Furthermore, I get frequent errors:

Unable to open data source

WFS-XML file not readable. Check if xerces-c support is compiled into GDAL/OGR library.

using the advertised

v.in.wfs "wfs=http://webgis.regione.sardegna.it/geoserver/ows?service=WFS&request=GetCapabilities&version=1.0.0" output=sard

but not with the maunal example

v.in.wfs \
wfs="http://mapserver.gdf-hannover.de/cgi-bin/grassuserwfs?REQUEST=GetFeature&SERVICE=WFS&VERSION=1.0.0" out=grass_users

All the best.

In the script there is a test if curl is installed.
I have now added this requirement also to the manual.

What do you mean with "adding"? Or do you refer to the manual?

"wfs=http://webgis.regione.sardegna.it/geoserver/ows?service=WFS&request=GetCapabilities&version=1.0.0&quot;
output=sard

Does
ogrinfo --formats
show the format on your system?

but not with the maunal example

v.in.wfs \

wfs="http://mapserver.gdf-hannover.de/cgi-bin/grassuserwfs?REQUEST=GetFeature&SERVICE=WFS&VERSION=1.0.0&quot;
out=grass_users

Unfortunately no idea...

have a nice QGIS hackfest,
Markus

Yes, but this makes the module unsuitable as a QGIS module, IMHO.

I mean, if curl is a dependency of GRASS, then it's ok. The end user should have everything installed before running a program, not being asked to install it during normal usage.

MMh, strange: apparently not, but http://mapserver.gdf-hannover.de is read.
All the best.

Hi,

it's dependency of v.in.wfs, not of GRASS as a whole. Just note:
replacing bash scripts in GRASS 6 by Python scripts from GRASS 7 would
solve many problems including this one.
