       Markus Neteler, Hamish Bowman

v.in.wfs imports OGC WFS maps (Web Feature Service) from external servers.

WFSimportwithoutcredentials
       Import of Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellite scene footprints:

       # run in Latitude-Longitude project (EPGS code 4326):
       # download "sentinel:mgrs" layer:
       v.in.wfs url="https://geoserver.mundialis.de/geoserver/sentinel/wfs?" name="sentinel:mgrs" output=sentinel2_mgrs
       # download NRW ALKIS "ave:Flurstueck" attribute:
       # set the AOI beforehand with g.region and limit import to current region with -r flag
       v.in.wfs url="https://www.wfs.nrw.de/geobasis/wfs_nw_alkis_vereinfacht?" -r output=wfs_alkis_vereinfacht srs=25832
       name="ave:Flurstueck" version="2.0.0" layer="Flurstueck"

   WFSimportwithAPIkey
       Download 25 ship wrecks from LINZ data service:
       (first create yourself a free API key at http://data.linz.govt.nz/p/web-services/)

       # run in LatLong project:
       URL=’http://wfs.data.linz.govt.nz/<PUT YOUR API KEY HERE>/wfs?’
       # download list of available layers to wms_capabilities.xml
       v.in.wfs -l url="$URL"
       From  that  file  we  learn  that the shipwreck layer is called "v:x633" and that EPSG code 4326 (LatLong
       WGS84) is a supported SRS for this data layer.
       v.in.wfs url="$URL" output=linz_hydro_25_wrecks name="v:x633" srs="EPSG:4326" max=25

v.in.wfs  - Imports GetFeature from a WFS server.

       The OGR library on the system needs to be compiled with Xerces C++ XML Parser support (for GML).
