[GIS] QGIS 2.16 adding certain WFS failed

qgis-2.16wfs

After switching from 2.14.1 to 2.16.1 adding layers from a certain WFS results in an error, example is with version 1.0.0 forced:

Layer is not valid: The layer srsname='EPSG:28992'
typename='app:Bouwvlak'
url='http://afnemers.ruimtelijkeplannen.nl/afnemers2012/services?'
version='1.0.0' table="" sql= is not a valid layer and can not be
added to the map

QGIS WFS log:

Analysis of DescribeFeatureType response failed for url
srsname='EPSG:28992' typename='app:Bouwvlak'
url='http://afnemers.ruimtelijkeplannen.nl/afnemers2012/services?'
version='1.0.0' table="" sql=: Cannot find element 'Bouwvlak'

I guess the problem is in parsing the DescribeFeatureType response, but I do find the element 'Bouwvlak':

...
<element name="Bouwvlak" substitutionGroup="gml:_Feature">
    <complexType>
        <complexContent>
            <extension base="gml:AbstractFeatureType">

                    <element name="fid" type="integer"/>

                </sequence>
            </extension>
        </complexContent>
    </complexType>
</element>

What I tried:

  • loading the features with FME – works
  • manual request in browser – works
  • force version to 1.0 / 1.1 / 2.0 in QGIS – no luck
  • ignore axis orientation in QGIS – no luck
  • Using Wireshark I checked the differences in requests from 2.14.1 and 2.16.1:

2.14.1 requests:

GetCapabilities

http://afnemers.ruimtelijkeplannen.nl/afnemers2012/services?SERVICE=WFS&REQUEST=GetCapabilities&VERSION=1.0.0

DescribeFeatureType

http://afnemers.ruimtelijkeplannen.nl/afnemers2012/services?SERVICE=WFS&VERSION=1.0.0&TYPENAME=app:Bouwvlak&&REQUEST=DescribeFeatureType

GetFeature (all)

2.16.1 request

GetCapabilities

http://afnemers.ruimtelijkeplannen.nl/afnemers2012/services?SERVICE=WFS&REQUEST=GetCapabilities&ACCEPTVERSIONS=2.0.0,1.1.0,1.0.0

DescribeFeatureType

http://afnemers.ruimtelijkeplannen.nl/afnemers2012/services?SERVICE=WFS&REQUEST=DescribeFeatureType&VERSION=2.0.0&TYPENAME=app:Bouwvlak

No differences up to this step, so now I am stuck. Switching back to 2.14 works but I prefer using 2.16.

Can someone tell me this is a bug or a problem in the service?

Logged this as an issue (http://hub.qgis.org/issues/15395) at 05-08-2016. Closed / fixed 09-08-2016 (thats quick) with the comment:

Fixed per 4bcbc1e (and backported in master_2 in f17f6ac, and in release-2_16 a0e3e76)

I'm not sure how the release cycle works and when the fix will be available but will update.

In my current installation this issue is fixed.
