The feature half of the OGC family, which this GUI has never had: WMS, WMTS and WCS all answer with pictures, and a WFS answers with the data. That makes it the one of the four whose result can be queried, classified and labelled like any other vector layer — so it is one, deriving from GISVectorLayer rather than repeating it.

GDAL does not fetch it. This build compiles GDAL without curl, so RegisterOGRWFS is absent entirely and CPLHTTPFetch is a stub; the bytes come over Qt Network through HydroCoupleOgc, and GDAL is handed them afterwards. Everything about parsing the service — its capabilities, the version-dependent request spelling, the axis order of a bounding box — lives in that shared library and is tested there, against saved responses from real servers.
