  The first thing to do would be check the GetCaps document to see that 
what you want is actually supported for that layer. The error would 
suggest not. You should use the NET tab on your debugger (Chrome or 
firebug) to look at the request that is actually being sent to the WMS 
server. If you copy it and paste into the URL bar of your browser, you 
can can play with options in the URL and see what comes back. Try other 
info_formats for a start. (gml is the most useful, but it possible that 
service owner has configured only unhelpful html returns).
