Description

New description:

When using Arcgis WFS servers, QGIS returns an error when adding a layer if the url contains "request=GetCapabilities&service=WFS", example:

http://watersgeo.epa.gov/arcgis/services/OW/NHD_Med_Detailed_NAD83/MapServer/WFSServer?request=GetCapabilities&service=WFS

error is like

The layer http://watersgeo.epa.gov/arcgis/services/OW/NHD_Med_Detailed_NAD83/MapServer/WFSServer?request=GetCapabilities&service=WFS&SERVICE=WFS&VERSION=1.0.0&REQUEST=GetFeature&TYPENAME=OW_NHD_Med_Detailed_NAD83:Flowlines&SRSNAME=EPSG:3785 is not a valid layer and can not be added to the map

Does not happen in QGIS 1.8


Old Description:

When adding a layer from this

http://81.84.243.210/arcgis/services/Registo_GNR_wfs/MapServer/WFSServer?

the layer is added but is completely empty. In QGIS 1.8 it is fine.

Moreover if the URL is written as

http://81.84.243.210/arcgis/services/Registo_GNR_wfs/MapServer/WFSServer?request=GetCapabilities&service=WFS

then adding the layer qgis will return

The layer http://81.84.243.210/arcgis/services/Registo_GNR_wfs/MapServer/WFSServer?request=GetCapabilities&service=WFS&SERVICE=WFS&VERSION=1.0.0&REQUEST=GetFeature&TYPENAME=Registo_GNR_wfs:Ocorrências_Criminais&SRSNAME=EPSG:4326
is not a valid layer and can not be added to the map

and again in qgis 1.8 it didn't return such a message and worked ok.

isn't a server I manage, but I can ask to put it on-line again, so you will be able to see the issue.

cheers!

Did you manage to put on-line again the service ?

It doesn't work for me yet

The manager of that server didn't answered me yet. But I would suggest not to close this ticket (yet). This is not an isolated case, it is about wfs services published with arcgis software, so it would be better at least to test other examples. I will try a few other ones.

#7 Updated by Salvatore Larosa over 11 years ago

I found and tried this example [0] of WFS created by ArcGIS and
I get what you said to the first comment.
so now I can confirm it. on 1.8 I get an empty layer too.

ummm... the url I originally added to the description was working fine on 1.8 and not working on master.

The operation urls point to an internal(?) server dmzgcc0003v.

on ArcGIS it works fine, I expect it should also work in QGIS.
(but I am aware that this affirmation is not always true)

I'm a bit skeptical that this server ( http://gisdemo2.agro.nl/arcgis/services/editdemo/MapServer/WFSServer?request=GetCapabilities&service=WFS ) works with any client. Issuing a WFS GetFeature request at hands returns 0 bytes...

#12 Updated by Salvatore Larosa over 11 years ago

Found another arcgis service [0] and works fine on QGIS too.

[0] - http://ndgishub.nd.gov/arcgis/services/Features/Geology/MapServer/WFSServer?

but adding request=GetCapabilities&service=WFS parameters I get the message "The layer .... is not a valid layer"

at this point I am not really sure if this is an blocker issue!

I don't know, but I can see the layers using ArcGIS [0].

http://ndgishub.nd.gov/arcgis/services/Features/Geology/MapServer/WFSServer?

While this is certainly a regression since 1.8 (such urls work also with "request=GetCapabilities&service=WFS"), I agree that at this point this should not be anymore a blocker, as without the server cited in the ticket description I cannot confirm the original issue.

Feel free to downgrade this ticket.

seems like a server problem to me, too.

http://81.84.243.210/arcgis/services/REGISTO/Registo_GNR/MapServer/WFSServer?

it is up again, and so I can confirm the original issue -> the layers are ok on QGIS 1.8 and are downloaded empty in master.

Can anyone confirm? should I file a new ticket?

#17 Updated by Salvatore Larosa over 11 years ago

Confirmed here, empty layer on master, ok on 1.8.
