I have been trying to connect to a Mapserver WFS with RC8.  When I saw Jesse's
note I wondered if I need to download another build.  At this moment the nightly
build appears to be missing from the site.  That is what I want, right?  I
assume that the RC8 download would not change.

I recently posted to mapserver-user to find out if anyone has been successful
using udig as a WFS client, but didn't get any replies about that.  Can anyone
here comment about that?  I am also trying QGis and *choke* Arc.  Are there any
other WFS clients out there that I should try?  Thanks.
