[Qgis-developer] Curious why this does not work (WMS server)

[Richard Duivenvoorde]

Hi Tim,

I was curious too, I had a look and finally I was able to connect to the
service, but there is something strange.
The problem seems to be that the 'Add' button in the wms-dialog is not
enabled in the right way.

What I do to make it work now:

1) add the service url:
http://raster.tnris.org/lizardtech/iserv/ows?request=GetCapabilities&service=WMS&

2) accept the 'advertised url' (by clicking yes)

3) click on the first layer 'BEG_GAT_250K_WGS84' and note that in the
status line of the dialog is: 'No CRS selected'

4) click on the 'change' button and select the (only available) crs 'WGS
84' and click OK

NOW the Add button should be enabled (I should think...)

I can get the layer loaded now by clicking on the 0-layer (with title
Top Layer)...
As soon as I click that layer, the Add button get's enabled...

Don't know what the source is of the error

I do not see errors in debug or so.. Maybe jef has an idea?

I opened an issue for this, because it is so easily reproducable:
http://trac.osgeo.org/qgis/ticket/3591

Hope somebody can have a look at it.

Regards,

Richard Duivenvoorde
