[GRASS-user] WMS fails on Geosciences Australia downloads

[Richard Chirgwin]

Hi all,

I am trying to access layers on the Geosciences Australia OGC Web Map 
server:
http://www.ga.gov.au/wms/getmap?dataset=national&request=getCapabilities 
<http://www.ga.gov.au/wms/getmap?dataset=national&request=getCapabilities>

Here is the input as generated by the r.in.wms GUI:
r.in.wms output=test 
mapserver=http://www.ga.gov.au/wms/getmap?dataset=national&request=getCapabilities 
layers=60 srs=EPSG:18001 format=png wms query=version=1.1.1 maxcols=1024 
maxrows=1024 'wgetoptions=-c -t 5 --user-agent=MSIE5.5' method=nearest v=1

This fails with a bunch of errors, partly copied below. The same thing 
happens running r.in.wms using a single quote as the delimiter.

Is it a bug in Grass-GIS or at the other end?
